Electronic Recycling
The Vigo County Solid Waste Management District is proud to offer
electronic recycling to Vigo County residents.
Each year the United States spends over 500 billion dollars on electronics. To reduce the amount of electronics that go to the landfill we offer E Waste Days every Tuesday and Wednesday. The event is from 9am-4pm rain or shine, excluding holidays.
Recycling is intended for Vigo County residents only. Products from businesses and organizations or items that present a health or safety hazard are not accepted.
