Recycling Programs

Fort Wayne One Cart Recycling

ONE CART RECYCLING

With one cart recycling, you no longer have to sort your recyclables into two separate bins. New, convenient, yellow-top city carts can handle all of your recyclables – including plastics #1 through #7.

Visit www.recyclefortwayne.org for more information!

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE 

  • Call the City of Fort Wayne at 311 to sign up for your yellow-top container for recyclables
  • All recyclables are to be placed in this one container (no sorting is required)
  • Plastics #1 through #7 are accepted (look on the bottom of containers for numbers enclosed in recycling arrows)
  • Collection is every other week
  • Place your recycling cart near your trash cart, facing the street or alley, leaving a 3-foot space between the two
