HANCOCK COUNTY PAINT AND ELECTRONICS RECYCLING PROGRAM

Hancock County will no longer offer an unsupervised drop-off site for paint and electronics. The new program will be similar, but drop-offs will be supervised and the hours will be restricted. Beginning Friday, January 16, 2026, any resident of Hancock County can bring old paint and electronics from their household to the drop-off site at the Hancock County Highway Department, located at 1006 Wabash  Street in Carthage. The collec?on truck will be on site most Fridays from 8:00 am to Noon. Residents can
call 217-357-3155 to confirm whether the facility will be open on a par?cular day. Please note that commercial waste cannot be accepted through this non-profit program.
