Information about recycling in Montgomery County.

Montgomery County Recycling Program:


In the mid 90's Montgomery County Board felt that the future generations of our county deserved a chance at a better quality of life and implemented a Recycling Program for residents and businesses.

Montgomery County currently recycles several post consumer materials. Our main facility, for processing the material, is located in Hillsboro, Illinois.

Since its inception Montgomery County has many drop off areas throughout the county, that residents and/or businesses may bring their recyclables.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

In Montgomery County we want to reduce the waste stream by reusing materials rather than "wasting" them by landfilling.

In Montgomery County we recycle to recover usable materials which will lessen the need to cut more trees, mine more materials and help to conserve energy. Recycled materials require much less energy to process and re-use than their raw material counterparts.

Commercial/Institutional Recycling

Montgomery County Recycling also encourages commercial and institutional paper and cardboard recycling programs in cooperation with local waste haulers.

Look to some of our Recycling Facts to help give you a better idea of what we are currently doing in our Country and our County.

Please check out some of the following Recycling Links: If we don’t recycle it you can find other places to take material like; glass, electronics, fluorescent tubes, rechargeable batteries, etc…

· For Glass Recycling, you can call, “We Care Recycling” in Carlinville, Illinois at 217-854-8888.
