Quick Checklist of Recyclable Items

Here's a list of commonly recycled items:

Paper - including newspapers, magazines, office paper, cardboard, and paperboard
Plastic - including bottles, containers, and packaging materials
Glass - including bottles and jars
Metal - including aluminum cans, steel cans, and scrap metal
Electronics - including computers, cell phones, televisions, and other electronic devices
Batteries - including rechargeable batteries and single-use batteries
Textiles - including clothing, shoes, and other fabric items
Automotive parts - including tires and car batteries
Household items - including appliances, furniture, carpet, and mattresses
Cooking oil and grease - can be recycled into biodiesel or other renewable energy sources
Paint-including oil and water based paints
Wood-including old pallets, scrap lumber, plywood, and other non-treated or unpainted items
Yard Waste- including tree limbs, brush, leaves, and old firewood

It's important to note that recycling guidelines can vary by location, so it's always best to check with your local recycling program to see what items they accept for recycling.

It's also important to know that not all items are recycled for free. Some locations charge for items to be recycled. A great example is with tires and motor oil. It is not uncommon to have an "Environmental Fee" included in your bill when you buy tires or have your oil changed. Another typical fee is for the reclamation of freon or other forms of refrigerants from refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners. Once again you are urged to consult your local recycling program.

AC Trash Hauling & More recycles as much as feasible. Furthermore, the transfer stations that we work with also diligently recycle, thus minimizing the amount of material that enters a landfill.

Credit Card Fees and/or SDurcharges

By Andrew Corman • January 20, 2026

Surcharges, Convenience Fees… and Why We Don’t Use Them You’ve probably seen them before: surcharges, convenience fees, service charges. They show up on bills and receipts everywhere these days. While they may go by different names, they all boil down to the same thing—extra charges added after the fact. A surcharge is usually a percentage added to your bill, most often when you pay with a credit card. It’s meant to cover the processing fees charged by card companies. A convenience fee is typically a flat amount charged for using a certain payment option or service—like paying online instead of in person. Here’s the thing… Let’s Be Honest We’re moving fast toward a cashless world . Most of us pay for almost everything with a debit or credit card. Groceries, gas, coffee, trash service—you name it. Do you really think businesses haven’t already built card processing costs into their prices? Of course they have. Processing fees usually run around 3%. From a business standpoint, we’d rather take a $100 payment and pay a few dollars in processing fees than not make the sale at all. Those costs are part of doing business—and yes, they’ve already been factored in. On top of that, many customers are paying far more in credit card interest than the processing fee itself. And About “Service Charges”… Once they show up, they almost never go away. Fuel surcharges are a great example. Fuel goes up, the charge increases. Fuel comes down… but the charge stays. That just doesn’t sit right with us. Our Approach at AC Trash Hauling We don’t add surcharges. We don’t charge convenience fees. And we don’t tack on service charges. If our costs go up, we’re upfront about it. We adjust our prices instead of sneaking in extra fees. No fine print. No surprises. That’s how we believe business should be done. We’d love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share your comments—we’re always open to the conversation. Just a reminder, we provide our trash hauling services to the following communities and surrounding areas. Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Sheridan, Zionsville, Broad Ripple, Cicero, Castleton, Lawrence, Tipton, McCordsville, Fortville, Greenfield, and more upon request.
