Around the Tri-State — Local Pulse (Gibson County clear-out — Haubstadt THIS Saturday)
Digs 3–5 already covered Vanderburgh/Daviess/Posey/Warrick shredding, Tox Away, paint, Extension, River Sweep, and the DIY / road / leaf stack. This Local Pulse fills the Gibson County gap: a town dump day tomorrow, free tire amnesty next Saturday, and a full HHW + electronics day in mid-October.
Why care + what to do this week
If you live north of Evansville — Haubstadt, Princeton, Fort Branch, Oakland City — the next three disposal windows are yours.
This week: haul bulk junk to Haubstadt’s Dump Day Saturday morning (Sep 12). Then stack tires for Gibson’s Tire Amnesty on Sep 19, and start a garage shelf for paint, chemicals, meds, and old TVs ahead of Fall HHW on Oct 17. Evansville city customers: schedule free heavy trash before November leaf crews take those trucks offline.
This Saturday — Haubstadt Dump Day
Town of Haubstadt Dump Day — Sat Sep 12, 7:00–11:30am at the Old Gym. Annual town bulk clear-out for Haubstadt-area homeowners. Chamber calendar is the live 2026 listing; an accepted-items sheet isn’t posted publicly yet — bring typical junk-day loads and leave paint/chemicals/tires for the Gibson county events below if you’re unsure.
Next Saturday — free tires (Gibson County)
3rd Annual Gibson County Tire Amnesty Day — Sat Sep 19, 7am–3pm at the Large Trash & Compost Yard in Princeton. Free for Gibson County residents only. Up to 10 tires per resident — lawnmower through tractor, rims OK. Different window than Evansville’s Oct 31 tire day, so north-county piles don’t have to wait six more weeks.
Mid-October look-ahead — Gibson HHW + e-waste
Gibson County Fall Household Hazardous Waste Day (Toyota partner) — Sat Oct 17, 8am–noon at Toyota Family Medical Center in Princeton. Gibson residents only (no businesses). Accepted: medications, sharps, batteries, paint, oils/grease, household chemicals/pesticides, adhesives/sealers, fluorescent bulbs, electronics, TVs (limit 3), residential propane tanks, and regular recyclables. Same calendar date as Henderson County’s soft Household Waste Day — different county, different site.
Soft cue — Evansville heavy trash before leaf season
City of Evansville utility customers can still schedule free heavy trash as often as every two weeks — except during fall leaf collection (November through mid-December), when those pickups pause. If the mattress, couch, or appliance is leaving this fall, book it in September/October while the trucks are still available.
Soft one-liner — DEA Take Back Day
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is Sat Oct 24, 10am–2pm. Local Tri-State drop sites usually post closer to the date — watch for police / pharmacy listings; Evansville Tox-Away (Oct 31) also takes non-controlled pharmaceuticals.
