Transfer Station Host Days
Recycling Collection Events in Van Buren County
Van Buren County partners with the Van Buren Conservation District (VBCD) to bring affordable, convenient recycling collection events to residents throughout the county. These events make it easier to responsibly dispose of items that don’t belong in your regular trash or recycling bin.
Electronics Recycling Events
In addition to Recycle Roundups, VBCD offers electronics-only collection opportunities throughout the year in two formats:
One-Day Events — Staff will be on-site to answer questions and help you unload. These afternoon events run from 1:00–5:00 PM and travel to different communities across the county.
