Litter Landing is a Hancock County owned and operated Recyclable Material Recovery Facility (MRF) that operates on the donations of recyclable materials offered by those that participate in the recycling program. The facility is ran through the Hancock County Solid Waste Management District and under the direction of the Hancock County Board of Commissioners.  Collecting recyclable materials is essential for saving space in our local sanitary landfill as well as protecting our natural resources. However, not everything can be recycled and there are limits on what can be processed.  For other recycling collection facilities in Hancock County please see the Recycling Directory for more information.
