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
