Do you provide recycling services?

City of South Bend Curbside Recycling Program - Updated Jan 21, 2014 Back

Services are restricted to residents of South Bend only.

Please call for the curbside collection schedule.

South Bend, IN 46616

Recycling may not be on the same day as trash service. The recycling collection day is set by Borden Waste-Away, who has contracted with the County to provide this service. The City is only billing for the service, which is the reason our rates are lower than even the senior rate in the County.

Please Note the Following:
All containers to be emptied and rinsed clean and caps & lids removed.
No motor oil, insecticide, herbicide or hazardous chemical containers.
No grocery or department store plastic bags. Return to area stores, where available.
No plastic film (no plastic sheets, tarps or wrap.)
Expanded foam and clear polystyrene (#6 plastic resin) are NOT accepted items.
Please refer to the list of unaccepted items that should not be included with commingled containers.
