Knox County Solid Waste Management

Knox County Solid Waste Management on Willow St. is the county solid waste spot folks in Vincennes use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Locals swing by with pickup loads or trailers, not a neighborhood dumpster for day-to-day garbage.

Pull into the site and there’s typically a small entrance booth and an area to line up with other vehicles; larger trucks and trailers are common and the traffic can slow down on busy weekends. Most county facilities have a scale and a staffed point where vehicles stop before and after dumping, so plan for a short hold-up rather than a quick drive-through. The property looks industrial - rows of containers, piles for yard material in season, and a few concrete pads for dropping off. Recycling containers or sections for different materials are usually grouped near the main drop-off area rather than scattered around the whole yard.
