Crawford County Solid Waste

Crawford County Solid Waste Management District  strives to provide quality services to residents of Crawford County, Indiana through recycling and waste disposal sites, bi-annual Clean Sweep events, community and school education programs, and a compliance program.In the winter season, cold weather, ice, snow and freezing rain may make use of our sites difficult. If this is the case, we may be closed. The Solid Waste District USUALLY follows the same delays and closings as the schools. We will close at any time that weather is deemed to be unsafe for site customers or staff. Please call the office to check on possible closings.Our three recycling sites allow you to keep about 75% of your 'trash' out of the landfill! We accept everything from this morning's empty cereal box to Aunt Minnie's 50 year collection of broken canning jars (and we'll even recycle the kitchen sink, if it's a metal one)! Most recycling is free, but some items, such as appliances, tires and TV's have a small fee.All three of our sites also have dumpsters for your convenience. A bag of regular household trash is $1.25 per bag. Heavy or over sized bags are $2 per bag. Additionally, we take large items such as mattresses, couches, and construction/remodeling debris for a fee. Some items are NOT acceptable in our dumpsters.
