Tox-Away Day at Hummel Park
October 19 @ 8:00 am – 1:00 pm
The Hendricks County Recycling District has announced a location change for its final Tox-Away Day of the year. The event will now be held on the west side of Hummel Park in Plainfield on Saturday, October 19th from 8 am to 1 pm. Residents that utilize mapping or GPS systems are encouraged to use the address of 5373 Sugar Grove Road, Plainfield, IN 46168 for directions to the correct location at the park.
This Tox-Away Day was previously advertised to be held at Plainfield Middle School. However, a scheduling conflict arose that necessitated the event being relocated.
Tox-Away Days are collection events where Hendricks County households can properly dispose of chemicals, fluids, bulbs, batteries, medicines, medical sharps, tires, electronics, appliances, and more. A more complete list of the items and materials accepted can be found at RecycleHC.org. Fees are charged for the recycling of TVs ($20/$25), appliances ($5/$10), and certain tires. Cash and check are the only payment methods accepted at Tox-Away Days.
Last year, the District’s five Tox-Away Days helped 4,288 users, resulting in the recycling and proper disposal of over 346,000 pounds of material, thereby protecting our community’s air, water, and land.
Residents with questions about Tox-Away Day should visit RecycleHC.org or call the District at (317) 858-6070.
