The Hendricks County Solid Waste Management District was formed on December 31,
2004, with the responsibility of reducing the amount of waste sent from Hendricks
County to final solid waste disposal facilities. That goal is accomplished by providing
waste reduction, reuse and recycling education and services to residents of the county.
In addition, the District works to ensure that problem wastes are disposed of properly.
The District consists of a nine-member Board of Directors, a Citizens Advisory
Committee (CAC), two full-time employees and seven part-time employees.
Free in-school educational programs are offered by the District for public and private
school students from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
Adult educational opportunities are also made available and focus on informing
residents of the opportunities for waste reduction, reuse, recycling and proper disposal
in the county.
The District operates Yard Waste Recycling Centers and Recycling Drop-off Centers in
the county and encourages Hendricks County residents to use the facilities.
In addition, the District sponsors four Tox-Away Days each year. These events provide
an opportunity for residents to properly dispose of their Household Hazardous Wastes
and problem wastes.
District staff members are eager to help answer any questions you may have
regarding waste reduction, reuse, recycling or disposal.
