Waste Facility
Boone County Resource Recovery Systems Inc
985 US-421, Zionsville, IN 46077
(317) 769-4223Small, local disposal spot that handles household and yard-type loads for Boone County residents. Neighbors and people hauling trash from nearby towns use it for routine drop-offs. It sits on US-421 just south of Zionsville and looks like a working county site rather than a shiny corporate facility.
Drive in and slow down for an entrance booth and a drive lane that leads to the tipping area and large containers. There is usually a scale and a place to report in before unloading, so plan on stopping twice if bringing a trailer. The site has heavy equipment and piles of material visible from the access road; trucks and trailers move at all times. Lines form on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so it can feel busy and a little noisy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Try to go midweek or late afternoon to avoid weekend backups; spring cleanup weekends get especially crowded.
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out while waiting in line or driving through the site.
- Have payment ready and expect to stop at the booth and the scale; allowing extra time keeps the visit less stressful.
