Batesville Area Recycling

Source Separated Process Begins Dec. 20 at Batesville

Some serious, ongoing contamination/illegal dumping issues continue at our Batesville location. On December 20, we are moving to a source separated process of recycling.

The outside containers will be removed. Recycling will need to be separated and placed in proper receptacles located inside the center. No material is to be left outside of the center. This will be considered illegal dumping.

To recycle, people should visit the center during normal business hours: Mon, Wed, Fri, from 1-6pm and Saturdays 8am-Noon.

This is a signifcant change from the usual process of placing recycling in outside containers. Center workers are currently handing out flyers regarding this change.

SEIRD Recycle Centers no longer accept any oil-based paints and stains except on designated HHW collection days. Any unlabeled/unidentifiable items or latex paints can no longer be accepted. Fluorescent tubes and bulbs are the only HHW drop off items accepted at this recycling center during normal business hours. There is $1.00 per bulb charge for businesses and organizations.

Please consult the downloadable brochure for your county on this website to confirm exact collection dates and times. Residents of the Southeastern Indiana Recycling District may dispose of HHW year-round (during regular business hours) at the Jefferson County Recycling Center in Madison.

Non-controlled and controlled medications are accepted at the following locations in Ripley and Franklin counties: Ripley County Sheriff, Franklin County Sheriff, Batesville Police Department, and Margaret Mary Hospital.
