Satellite Drop-off Program

The Indiana County Solid Waste Authority offers satellite drop-off recycling services to communities interested in participating.  The program is designed to make recycling more convenient to those residents that live in the more rural communities of Indiana County.

The Authority requires each drop-off site is properly manned during the collection times specified for each individual satellite drop-off site.  Current participants hold their collections on Saturday's only.  This seems to be the most convenient day for those residents that work during the weekdays.

For more detailed information or to start a program for your municipality please contact the Authority office at the number below.
