Did You Know?
• Residents who live in Whitley County pay an annual recycling fee when they pay property taxes?
• If recycling containers are full and a resident does not want to wait until the next pick-up day to get rid of the contents, they can bring and empty the containers at the Whitley County Solid Waste (WCSWD) facility at 701 S. Line Street in Columbia City?
• Residents who live in Whitley County and don’t have a trash removal company may purchase ten yellow bags for $20 and drop them off when they are full at the WCSWD facility in the bins out front anytime night or day? (The yellow bags are for non-recyclable items only.)
• The Whitley County Solid Waste District schedule of pickup days and times is available at the Churubusco Town Hall at 693-9350 or by calling the WC Solid Waste office at 260-248-3132?
For more information on recycling and how you can get started, go to the Whitley County Solid Waste District Web site or call Jorell Tucker, director of the facility, at 260-248-3132.

How can we get Noble County to offer the same type of recycling program?
Whitley County’s is managed by a board of directors under the umbrella of local county government.
Contact your county commissioner.
I do believe Noble County falls in with the Northeast Indiana Solid Waste District (four counties). You also could call or email them and inquire about curbside recycling.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
