The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has stopped a northern Indiana recycling center from receiving solid waste materials, according to the Associated Press (AP). Inspections of Austgen Recycling Inc., revealed that the site appeared to be operating as a dumpsite rather than a recycling center.

The president of the recycling facility was ordered to halt solid waste dumping and to haul the waste to a solid waste management facility within 60 days.
