Delaware County TRC
The Delaware County Transfer and Recycling Center (TRC) is a 14,000-square-foot facility situated north of the City of Delaware at 892 US Highway 42N. Its doors opened in 2023, replacing its predecessor located nearby. Anticipating continual increases in daily residential and commercial waste in the region, the TRC was designed to accommodate current waste levels while providing adequate capacity for many years to come. Its design has streamlined traffic flow and offers a convenient drop-off point for both residential and commercial waste disposal needs.
