Collection stations take household trash and recycling (aluminum and metal cans, cardboard, magazines and newspapers; glass and plastic go to the Recycling Center). They don't take business waste, construction debris, hazardous waste, yard waste or refrigerated appliances.
What the transfer station won't take
No household hazardous waste (it goes to the Recycling Center), refrigerated appliances, yard waste, propane tanks, liquids, dead animals, asbestos or ammunition. The district doesn't take electronics: Goodwill stores take most of them (not TVs or monitors), and Best Buy in Bloomington takes TVs up to 42 inches.
Indiana law keeps whole tires, car batteries and TVs, computers and most other electronics out of household trash headed for a landfill, and landfills can't take an appliance until its refrigerant has been removed. Stores that sell new tires must take your old ones, one for one, when you buy.
