Solid Waste Facility

Vigo County Solid Waste Management District

3230 E Haythorne Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47805

(812) 231-4451

A county solid waste site that handles household trash, recycling and yard debris for Terre Haute residents. Locals use it for large cleanups and regular drop-offs when curbside pickup isn’t enough.

The property feels like a working, no-frills facility with a drive-up entrance and traffic flow between drop-off bays. There’s typically a small entrance booth and a scale area at spots like this, so be prepared to stop and follow directions from signs or attendants. Recycling containers and yard waste piles usually sit off to the side while larger dumpsters or compactors take household trash. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busier and trucks are common alongside cars.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose items in pickup beds or trailers before driving in; wind and sorting can make a mess.
  • Bring gloves and a rake or shovel for loose yard debris-it’s easier to transfer materials neatly into piles or bins.
  • Try a weekday morning if possible; lines are often shortest then and maneuvering space is easier.
