(812) 385-3136A county solid waste site used by Owensville and nearby residents for dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Small, no-frills setup that sees a steady flow from locals doing weekend cleanups and yard work.
Pull into a clearly marked entrance where there's usually an entrance booth or gate area to slow traffic; follow the lane past the booth to the unloading areas. The site feels compact - a few large bins or roll-offs and separate piles or bays for yard waste and bulky items. Recycling containers are typically grouped together near the front; household trash and larger drop-offs are farther back. Lines form on weekend mornings and around seasonal cleanup times, so there can be a short wait before getting to the drop-off point.
