The Hancock County Solid Waste Management District (HCSWMD) was formed in 2002, in response to mandates established by the House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1240. The HCSWMD manages and addresses the issues concerning Hancock County's waste needs by proactively reducing the amount of waste going to final disposal (landfills and incinerators) through education, source reduction, reuse, and recycling. We are supervised by a board of locally elected officials, managed by highly professional staff members working toward the common goal of reducing the solid waste disposed of in Hancock County.
As highlighted in the Annual Report, the scope and direction of the District's programming is wide and varied and includes a number of programs designed to not only reduce the amount of waste generated in Hancock County, but to also reduce the environmental impact of solid waste disposal, ultimately, addressing these issues at the least cost to the county taxpayers.
In 2021, the Hancock County Solid Waste District rebranded with the name "Recycle Hancock County" and new logo to help improve the understanding of what the Solid Waste District does and stands for.
The HCSWMD is co-located with the Purdue Extension Office of Hancock County. Purdue University is an equal opportunity / equal access / affirmative action institution.
This is a great news report regarding recycling and what happens to it.
