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.
Located in Barbour Business Park just north of Rising Sun on State Road 56. This page is Ohio COUNTY in Indiana, not a facility in the State of Ohio.
The guide lists a separate clean/dry film stream for grocery bags, shrink wrap, dry-cleaner bags and drink-carton wrap. Keep paper, plastics, cans and special materials in their labeled streams; newspapers must be dry and bundled, not in paper/plastic bags.
Oil, filters and antifreeze have a five-gallon limit. No fuel tanks or general HHW; cleaners, oil-based paint, pesticides and mercury chemicals are referred to Jefferson County. A local 2027 HHW event is only being planned.
Reuse-store shopping matches the posted recycling hours. No upholstered donations, and free usable items are intended for county residents rather than resale.
The current center directory prints 812-801-9037; the county brochure prints 812-801-9037 as well. Use this center line rather than the district main office for local intake questions.
