Solid Waste Facility

Gibson County Solid Waste, Owensville Site

6045 W Mill St, Owensville, IN 47665

(812) 385-3136

A 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.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp and straps for loose loads so nothing blows out on the way and unloading is quicker once at the site.
  • If hauling a trailer or truck, note that turning and backing space is limited at some county sites; approach slowly and be ready to maneuver.
  • Sort recyclables and yard waste before getting to the site so the actual drop-off goes fast and doesn't require moving between containers.
