Buckhorn Recycling & Compost Facility
Recycling & Compost Facility
The IRC has been managing the two recycling and compost facilities at the Buckhorn since fall of 2012. The recycling and compost facility is located on the outskirts of Logan Township at 1860 Blacksnake Road, Dysart, PA 16636. Our recycling and compost facility is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and our material is tested regularly by the Pennsylvania State University to assure that no hazardous constituents are in our finished mulch or compost.
Compost is a great soil amendment for lawns, gardens, and flower beds. It helps to improve water holding capacity and provides nutrients. Compost can be applied as a top dressing to lawns or flower beds and/or can be mixed with top soil to improve your soil quality. The IRC is happy to offer our community a screened compost, mulch, and top soil for sale at regular business hours.

Recycling Drop-off
The following items may be recycled at the Buckhorn ONLY. The recycling is a self serve drop-off and residents must be able to unload their own electronics. Most items are free for residents to recycle; businesses must contact the IRC office for fee and scheduling information. We do not accept paint, lumber, mattresses, or tires.
Program Available to Most County Residents
This service is available to all residents in participating mandated municipalities (City of Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Borough, and Logan Township) and residents in any non mandated municipalities. Tyrone Borough residents should contact their municipal office for all recycling information, including hazardous materials and electronics.
Note that acceptable mixed plastics now include a smaller set of materials. The Compost Facility does NOT accept recyclable items that are dirty or have not been rinsed. ALL ITEMS MUST BE RINSED AND CLEAN. THANK YOU!
