White River Recycling & Transfer

3859 US-40, Clayton, IN 46118

(317) 636-2024

A local recycling center off US-40 that people from Clay County and nearby towns use to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Friendly for residential drop-offs and the kind of place pulled-up cars and small trailers visit. It’s a practical stop for routine cleanouts rather than large commercial loads.

Expect a simple entrance with a small office/booth and a concrete or gravel yard with large bins and containers for different materials. There are separate collection containers for common items - things like cardboard, mixed paper, aluminum cans and glass bottles are usually accepted at centers like this. Vehicles pull up to the drop-off points, unload by hand or with a tailgate, and then leave once materials are in the proper container. Weekends, especially spring cleanup days, tend to be busier and require a bit more patience in the lane.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into obvious piles (cardboard, paper, metal, glass) so unloading is faster and less confusing for everyone.
  • Bring straps or a tarp if hauling a loose load in a pickup or trailer to keep items contained while moving between bins.
  • Avoid peak weekend hours when possible; an early weekday visit usually means a quicker in-and-out.
