Gibson County Solid Waste in Princeton is the local county site for household trash, yard debris, and common recyclables. People from around Gibson County drop off everything from bagged garbage to brush and recyclables here, so expect a working, no-frills place rather than a showroom.
Drive up to an entrance area where attendants will usually point where to pull up; there's often a small booth or gate at the driveway. Traffic tends to funnel to a few concrete tipping spots and open containers, with recycling and yard piles or bins set off to one side. Payment is handled at the entrance, and many Indiana county sites charge either by vehicle type or by weight/bag, so be ready for that. Weekends and spring cleanup days get the longest lines, while weekday mornings are typically quieter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home - cardboard, metal, and yard waste are almost always easier to drop off if separated beforehand.
- Secure and tarp loads so nothing blows out while driving; open beds and trailers are inspected when dumping.
- Bring a photo ID or proof of county residency in case it’s required, and plan for possible wait times on weekend or seasonal busy days.
