How disposal works in Indiana
In Indiana, county solid waste districts run many of the public landfills and drop-offs, and they post their prices: household trash from Lawrence County homes is free, Bartholomew County takes one small load a day free, Daviess and Washington counties charge $25.60 a ton, and Elkhart County $60. In bigger cities such as Fort Wayne, private companies run the landfills and don't post gate rates.
State law keeps whole tires, car batteries and TVs, computers and other electronics out of household trash headed for a landfill, and many county landfills won't take yard waste. Most districts take tires and appliances separately for a fee.
