Gibson County Solid Waste in Haubstadt is the small county facility locals use for household trash, yard waste, and basic recycling drop-offs. It sees a mix of pickups and trailers most days, especially on weekends. Neighbors swing by with small loads or bigger cleanup runs from around the county.
The site looks like a compact county transfer area with a simple entrance booth and a row of drop-off bays and dumpsters. Pull up to the booth area first and then move into the appropriate lane or bay for your load; trailers are common so expect people backing in. Recycling bins are usually grouped together off to one side rather than scattered, and the lot is mostly gravel or packed dirt with concrete pads at the bays. Lines can form on Saturdays and during spring clean-up, so there’s often a short wait before getting to the drop-off point.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps if hauling loose debris in a trailer so things stay put when pulling in and out.
- Arrive midweek or early morning to avoid the longer weekend lines during busy seasons.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves-there’s gravel and sharp stuff around the bays, and you’ll likely need to hop in and out of the truck.
