Home Resource Center Residential Resources Trash Removal and Recycling Back


Mishawaka provides our residents with a high-value, low-cost service for the weekly curbside collection of recyclables, trash, and garbage, large furniture and appliances, and yard waste. Families receive all these weekly services for less than $125 per year. Residents are billed three times per year at the rate of $9.56 per month plus a fuel recovery fee, with a senior rate of only $7.65 per month (plus the fee).

The Fifth Street Recycling Center and the Household Hazardous Waste Facility continue to provide a convenient location for residents to dispose of tree limbs, brush, recyclables, and household chemicals. It has also begun accepting old computers, calculators and similar electronic devices.

Mishawaka residents are also able to recycle corrugated cardboard and magazines by delivering them to the Recycling Center. While dropping off these materials, you may want to pick up free firewood and chipped wood mulch.
