(317) 660-6866Southside Solidification Services on North College Avenue is the local spot in Carmel for dropping off household refuse and small community loads. Neighbors and landscapers alike use it for routine disposal rather than big commercial hauls. It sits just north of the main commercial strip, so it's easy to find from the highway exits through town.
Drive up the lane and there's typically an entrance booth and a drive-over scale where vehicles pause before proceeding. Pull into the drop-off area and follow the concrete ramps and signage to the appropriate dump points; it’s a working yard with trucks, bins, and piled material, not a tidy storefront. Expect to stop twice if weighing is used-once in, once out-and to wait a bit on weekend mornings when local cleanups peak. The site is industrial in feel: gravel areas, heavy equipment moving about, and clear paths for larger trucks to maneuver.
