All cities and towns in Porter County, excluding Dune Acres, provide curbside collection for their residents.
However, apartments, condos and most other multifamily dwellings in Porter County must contract with a waste hauler for services. Additionally, the residents of unincorporated Porter County as well as Dune Acres must individually contract with private waste haulers for curbside service. We invite you to contact the private waste haulers listed here to arrange curbside recycling pickup.

Whether you have curbside recycling collection from your municipality, contract with a waste hauler, or use our drop-off locations, the guidelines to recycling for all Porter County residents are the same.
