Solid Waste Facility
Morgan County Solid Waste Management District
180 S Main St #004, Martinsville, IN 46151
(765) 342-2533Morgan County Solid Waste Management District in Martinsville is the local county solid waste site used by residents who need to drop off household trash, yard debris, and recycling. It’s the kind of place neighbors head to with pickup truck loads or a trunk full of recyclables when curbside pickup won’t do.
Expect a small entrance area with a booth where vehicles briefly stop before being directed to the unloading spots. The property looks like a mix of paved and gravel lanes with roll-off containers and recycling bins grouped together; trucks come and go. Drive-up access makes it possible to back up to a container for larger loads, and lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup times. Bring everything sorted as much as possible so unloading goes quicker.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose items and secure loads for the drive over-loose debris can blow out on the road or at the site.
- Sort trash, recyclables, and yard waste at home so it’s obvious where each pile goes; it speeds up unloading and cutting a long wait down.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; afternoons on weekdays or midweek tend to be less crowded.
