(812) 574-4080A mid‑sized recycling center out on N Jpg Shun Pike Rd where Madison residents drop off their household recyclables. Neighbors bring cars, pickup beds and small trailers; it’s clearly set up for day‑to‑day community use rather than large commercial hauls.
The lot looks like a typical county recycling site with a drive‑up area and several large containers or bays for different materials. Pull up to the entrance and there’s usually a spot to stop briefly before moving to the unloading area; slow drives and short waits are common on weekends. Commonly accepted items at centers like this include paper and cardboard, plastics, glass and metal, and many run occasional special collections for things like electronics or tires. The overall vibe is practical - gravel or paved surfaces, signage marking the bins, and room to maneuver a pickup or trailer.
