Solid Waste Facility

Lawrence County Solid Waste Management District

3326 Mitchell Rd, Bedford, IN 47421

(812) 277-9190

A county solid waste drop-off just outside Bedford for residents who need to get rid of household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Regular folks from Lawrence County bring pickups, trailers, and carloads here when clearing out garages or doing yard work.

Look for a gated entrance with a small booth and several drive-up lanes; vehicles usually pull up to the booth first and then move on to the appropriate area. The site feels large-open tipping areas, roll-off containers, and some covered bays are common at places like this. Expect to drive slowly through the yard, stop at signs or traffic cones, and back up to containers or concrete pads to unload. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so peak times tend to be slower-moving.

Before You Go

  • Tie down and cover loose debris before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or at the site.
  • Bring tools and gloves for lifting and breaking down bulky items, and flatten boxes to save time and space.
  • Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; early weekdays or mornings are usually quieter and move faster.
