The Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District has announced changes in paper recycling due to vendor service changes.
Paper recycling will be changing at the Petersville (11110 25th St.) and Harrison Convenience stations (10293 Old Nashville Road) as well as the Bartholomew County Landfill (811 E. County Road 450S).
Begining soon, paper will no longer be collected in the paper-only bins but will be combined with plastics, metals, and glass in co-mingled bins. Only cardboard will be separated out from the co-mingled bins at all three locations.
At the landfill, paper will be collected in the Yellow Recycle compactor along with plastics, metals, and glass.
At Harrison and Petersville Convenience Stations, paper will be collected in the red bins along with plastic, metal, and glass. Paper, separated individually, would be accepted at the Columbus/Bartholomew County Recycling Center, 720 S. Mapleton Street.
