Recycling in Frankfort: A Local Guide
Frankfort, Indiana's recycling landscape is split between waste disposal and scrap metal buying. The Republic Services Clinton County Landfill at 2700 N State Road 39 serves as the primary public disposal site, accepting non-hazardous trash, concrete, wood, building materials, rubber, Styrofoam, and carpet padding. The landfill is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. It is a landfill first — public recycling is limited to a basic roll-off at the entrance on the west side. Clinton County residents who need broader recycling can use the Mulberry drop-off trailer at the Wastewater Treatment Plant on County Road 350 North or the drop-off at Clinton Central School.
Frankfort has two scrap metal operations on West Washington Street. Winski Brothers Inc, in business since 1937 and now in its fifth generation of family ownership, purchases aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, steel and iron, lead, nickel, and cast iron from anyone — no minimum load required. The yard is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. Priority Recycling operates at the same 751 W Washington St address and extends the offering: in addition to ferrous and nonferrous metals, it accepts corrugated cardboard and select plastics (HDPE, LDPE #4, polypropylene #5, vinyl siding scrap). Priority Recycling has the most flexible schedule of the three — open Tuesday through Saturday 8 AM–4 PM and Sunday 8 AM–Noon, closed Monday only.
None of the three Frankfort facilities accept hazardous waste. For household hazardous waste events and electronics recycling in Clinton County, check with Clinton County Solid Waste Management or the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Cities nearby with additional recycling resources include Lafayette, Kokomo, and Lebanon. See the full Indiana recycling directory for more options.
