Sanitation & Recycling

The City of Elkhart contracts with an outside waste management company for solid waste collection and recycling. Everyone within the city limits is required to have garbage collection.

Most trash and debris, when properly bundled and/or contained properly, can be disposed of at curbside with your regular garbage service days. If assistance is needed or you have questions for the city, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

For questions specific to trash or recycling pick up, please call the waste management company directly.

Please come to City Hall to sign up for trash services or call us at 903-764-5657.
