Darke County Solid Waste on Wagner Avenue in Greenville is the county spot for dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Neighbors, landscapers and folks doing a cleanout around the house tend to stop in here when they need to unload.
A small entrance booth and a scale area sit close to the road; pull up there before moving into the unloading lanes. Past the booth are rows of roll-off containers and piles for different materials, with the recycling bins usually off to the right. The ground is a mix of gravel and concrete pads and the site is open-air, so trucks and trailers are common. Weekends and spring-cleanup time often bring lines, so expect some waiting then.

- Bring gloves, sturdy shoes and a tarp; loose stuff can blow and some lifting is required.
- Aim for early in the day on busy weekends to avoid the longest lines and to get a closer spot to the containers.
