Other notes

Fall 2026 county guide supplies these posted rates and keeps a 091225 production code. Treat them as currently published values, not proof of a new 2026 price change. Call for larger tires or unusual loads.
Accepts dry paper/cardboard, rinsed food/beverage glass bottles, aluminum/steel cans, capped uncracked vehicle batteries, rechargeable batteries, electronics and listed refrigerant-bearing appliances. Keep special items separate and use designated bins. No alkaline batteries, window/plate glass or wet/dirty paper.
Electronics include computers/monitors, TVs, stereos, DVD players, phones, VCRs, printers and scanners. Screened devices have a $15 fee. Do not assume an integrated-screen laptop is exempt without asking.
Ordinary #1/#2 plastic bottles/jugs and #5 containers/cups are listed at this facility. This differs from Jennings and Franklin centers, whose guides list #1/#2 only.
Do not leave any materials after hours. Listed recyclable streams are not permission to dump general household garbage, construction waste or hazardous materials into recycling bins.
The county eligibility rule and NO-curbside-service restriction apply to standard recyclables. Do not assume a curbside customer may use the ordinary bins simply because the center accepts their special electronics or tires.
Sort recyclables into labeled bins inside during business hours. Flatten cardboard; mixed paper includes dry softback books, newspaper, magazines and paperboard. Bag shredded paper; hardback books have library/textbook bins.
Clean dry grocery bags, shrink wrap, dry-cleaner bags and drink-carton wrap are accepted separately. No trash in any recycling bin, no wet paper/cardboard, no alkaline batteries or window glass.
General HHW is NOT accepted at normal Batesville intake. Jefferson County is the regular HHW outlet; a local 2027 collection is only being planned. Do not confuse the district-wide description of automotive fluids with a verified Batesville oil/antifreeze stream; call first.
Obey traffic/parking signs. No recyclable material may be removed once dropped off. This facility is distinct from the Ripley Osgood and Franklin Metamora centers already listed; their schedules do not apply here.
