Rossville Program
The Town provides curbside recycling to residential customers only within the corporation limits of Rossville.
Curbside recycling pick up will be the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. Your recyclables will need to be out for pick up no later than 7:00 a.m. Place them where your trash is normally picked up. Please have your recyclables bagged in a clear plastic bag or covered garbage can. No regular trash will be picked up on this day. Don’t leave loose items on the curb as they will blow. All items can be combined in the same receptacle. They do not need to be separated. No electronics, styrofoam, yard waste, construction materials, liquids, appliances, dirt, rocks, cement, burnt ash, burn barrels, tires, batteries, or medical waste. Unacceptable items will be left.
Items that are accepted include:
- Clear, brown, and green glass jars and bottles
- All solid plastics (rinsed out) that that have a number from 1-7 inside the triangle imprinted on the container
- All tin and steel cans (rinsed out)
- Aluminum pop cans and beer cans
- Newspaper, paper, magazines, and cardboard (please flatten)

Effective January 1, 2011, the State of Indiana made it illegal to discard electronics in your regular trash pick-up. All electronic waste such as TV, computers, answering machines, radios, stereos, cable and satellite receivers, etc. will no longer be picked up.
Electronic items can be taken to the Wildcat Creek Waste Management Drop-Off Site at the Frankfort Street Department located at 905 Burlington Ave., Frankfort, IN. If you have questions regarding electronic disposal, contact Joel Freeman at 1-855-659-4257.
The Wildcat Creek Solid Waste Management advises you to call ahead to schedule an appointment and to learn how to properly transport hazardous materials. The Drop-Off Site will accept pesticides, fuels, solvents, spray cans, oil based paint, pool chemicals, fire extinguishers, acids, oxidizers, motor oil, antifreeze, oil filters, car batteries, propane tanks, mercury devices, mercury in jars, fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescents, rechargeable batteries, and wood preservatives.
Compost Program
The compost areas located at the Town Park are for use exclusively by residents located within the Town limits. This does not include individuals located in the County and have a Rossville mailing address. Any yard waste, such as leaves, tree limbs, and grass clippings should be taken to the Park. The compost area is located on the south end of the Town Park.
Easy access to the compost area is off N. East St at E. Ramey St. One area is for tree limbs, sticks, and bushes. The other area is for leaves, old flowers, straw, and grass clippings.
Please empty the containers or bags you have brought your items in and take the containers or bags home with you. We will not accept any trash, carpet, furniture, or building materials such as roofing, concrete, or lumber at this location. Professional landscapers and tree trimmers are not allowed to use this site.
