Frequently Asked Questions
Is Midwest Fiber a public recycling drop-off?
It is primarily the single-stream processing facility (MRF) and hauler for Central Illinois rather than a staffed household drop-off. Your curbside recycling is processed here. For walk-in drop-off, confirm with the facility first, and note that Normal lists public drop-box sites around town serviced by Midwest Fiber.
What plastics does Midwest Fiber accept?
Its published single-stream program accepts plastics #1 through #7, along with cardboard, paper, glass bottles and jars, and aluminum and steel cans. Materials should be clean and empty.
Where are the Normal recycling drop-box sites?
The Ecology Action Center lists remaining Normal drop-box locations serviced by Midwest Fiber, including sites at Jewel-Osco, Heartland Community College, the Wal-Mart Supercenter, and Crossroads Center. Flatten boxes and clean containers before dropping them off.
Can I get paid for recycling here?
Midwest Fiber is a single-stream recycling processor, not a buy-back center for household recyclables. For paid scrap metal you would need a scrap-metal buyer instead.
