Wabash Valley Landfill is the large county-area landfill out on Spring Valley Road that takes household and commercial loads from Wabash and nearby areas. Trucks, trailers and pickup loads come here for the final burial of trash, and facilities like this in Indiana fall under the Department of Environmental Management.

Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so plan for possible lines.
