A Recycling Program For Hard To Recycle Items
This program collects plastics that can't be recycled traditionally, and turns them into valued resources. The Hefty ReNew Program complements your existing recycling routine in Dearborn County.
How the Program Works
Buy Your Bag
Purchase Hefty ReNew orange bags at Kroger, Walmart or other participating retailers. Only the special Hefty ReNew orange bags will be accepted.
Fill the Bag
Fill the Hefty ReNew orange bag with acceptable items. Only the acceptable items listed below should be placed in the bags. All other recyclables should be loose in your recycling bin or trailers. Anything you place in the Hefty ReNew orange bags must be clean, dry, and free of any foil lining.
Recycle in the DCRC Trailers
Tie the full orange bag and place it in the designated spot in our trailers or bring it to the DCRC Drive-Thru.
