(LaPorte County, IN) - LaPorte County residents are being asked to put all of their

recyclables Inside their containers.

Anything not in the containers will not be picked up right now because

of the coronavirus threat.

Sacha Gee Burns, an educator with the LaPorte County Solid Waste District, said

people can normally place boxes of recycleables beside full containers for

all of it to be picked up.

But, anything outside the containers will not be collected right now because

they don’t want the workers handling recyclables due to the risk of contracting

coronavirus.
