Solid Waste Facility

Spencer County Solid Waste

918 E County Rd 800 N, Chrisney, IN 47611

(812) 362-7401

Small county solid waste site in Chrisney that handles general household trash, yard waste and some recycling - the sort of place locals use for weekend cleanups and projects. Drivers from Spencer County bring carloads and pickup trailers here rather than hauling to a regional landfill farther away.

A single entrance lane leads toward an attendant booth where vehicles typically stop before proceeding to drop-off points; plan to pull up and wait your turn if a line forms. The site feels utilitarian: large metal containers, piles for yard material, and open tipping areas rather than landscaped grounds. Traffic builds on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short line of pickups and cars. Bring a vehicle that can back up or maneuver around containers, since many drop-off spots require positioning close to the bin or tipping area.

Before You Go

  • Arrive with items sorted if possible - keeping recyclables, yard debris and general trash separated speeds things along once at the site.
  • Drive slowly through the yard; watch for trucks and trailers backing into drop areas and for loose debris on the ground.
  • Have any paperwork or county ID handy in the glovebox so it’s easy to show at the booth if requested.
