Recycling and Solid Waste Disposal
There is no charge for recycling. We are accepting recyclable items at the Shelby County Recycling Center and the Seventh Street Shelbyville location, currently self service drop off only.
Recyclable Materials
Please separate items into one of the following categories and drop into the appropriate bin.

Household Trash
There’s a small fee to dispose of your non-recyclable materials. When you enter the solid waste disposal area our automated scales weigh your vehicle. After you put your trash in the dumpsters you are weighed again on the way out. You can pay with credit card or debit card. We also offer reusable County Cards which may be purchased with cash. There is a fee of 3.5 cents per pound so, for example, 20 pounds of trash costs only 70 cents.
