Waste Facility
Republic Services of Southern Indiana (Washington)
350 S 200 W, Washington, IN 47501
(812) 254-1018Republic Services of Southern Indiana in Washington is the local disposal site used by residents dropping off household refuse and small loads. Folks from town and the surrounding county come here when routine trash pickup isn't enough or during cleanup projects.
Drive in off S 200 W and you'll see a small entrance area with a booth and a traffic flow that makes you pull up to sort of check in. There’s a scale nearby so expect to stop twice if the site charges by weight-once going in and once coming out. The site is large enough for trucks and trailers, with piles and compactors visible from the access road; weekends and spring cleanup days get crowded and slow. Bring everything tied down and ready to unload to keep the line moving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a photo ID and proof of local residence handy-many county facilities ask for it even if payment details vary.
- Load trailers and pickup beds so items can be dumped quickly; loose debris and unsecured loads slow everyone down.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible; weekend and spring-cleanup afternoons are when lines back up.
