Rathbun Area Solid Waste Commission

Rathbun Area Solid Waste Commission is the local solid waste facility in Centerville that both households and nearby farms use. Located on McCarty Street, it handles general household trash and typical community recycling and yard debris needs. Expect a practical, workmanlike site rather than anything fancy.

Drive up the lane and follow the signs into the compound; there will be separate piles or containers for different materials, with larger open areas for dropping off bulky items. A small office or booth is usually at the entrance where transactions and questions are handled, and vehicles often need to pause there before proceeding. Trucks and trailers are common, so give plenty of room when pulling in and watch for farm equipment on busy days. Weekend and seasonal rushes-especially in spring and fall-make lines more likely, so plan for a short wait during those times.
