Gibson County Solid Waste in Princeton (3702 S 175 E) is the county solid waste site most locals use for household cleanouts, yard waste, and the usual drop-offs. People from around town and nearby rural areas bring trailers and pickup loads here. It’s the kind of place where neighbors end up swapping tips while waiting in line.
The site looks like a working county facility - drive up to a booth or gate area and wait your turn, with piles and containers visible beyond the entrance. A scale and traffic flow are common at county solid waste facilities, so plan for a brief stop to be weighed or checked before you leave. Recycling and yard-waste sections are typically grouped off to one side, and there’s usually room to maneuver trucks and trailers if it’s not crowded. Weekends and spring cleanups can have lines, so expect occasional backups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loose loads; wind can scatter yard waste or trash during unloading.
- Have items separated in the truck or trailer so unloading goes faster - recyclables, brush, and household trash in different piles if possible.
- Time trips to avoid peak weekend hours when possible; an early weekday visit often moves quicker.
