contact the district office at (574) 732-9253 to make an
appointment. We are located at 518 High St. (Downtown). We will not pick up electronics. They must be

Q - How can I properly dispose of tires?
A - In the past, the district has hosted a tire amnesty day. In 2013, the Solid Waste District Board voted to take tires from area residents five days a week; by appointment. That ran from mid April until the beginning of August. We are planning on bringing back the program next year as well. If you need to dispose of tires before then, you can contact a local dealer or the vendor we use; Leffler Tire in Peru.
Q - I have some old paint. How can I get rid of it?
A - A lot of the paint that is used by area residents is Latex, which is water based. If you are unable to give it to someone else to use, you can dry it out and leave the lid off, and dispose of it with your regular trash. Kitty litter will help dry it out. Oil based paint needs to be taken to our HHW Day, which is in October.
