Warrick County’s fall clear-out stack for Tri-State homeowners is paint first, shredding next, and a hard truth on Newburgh leaves: under the current contract, there is no separate leaf pickup day. Self-haul and special events fill the gaps this county doesn’t run as a full HHW/tire amnesty weekend.
Why care + what to do this week
Boonville / Newburgh / Warrick residents: gather paint, stain, and aerosol cans for Sat Sep 26 Paint Disposal Day in Boonville (bring photo ID and keep labels on). Soft look-ahead: Fri Oct 16 free shred at Boonville Walmart. Newburgh homeowners — put leaves in the 96-gal trash cart; don’t wait on a separate leaf route that isn’t in the contract.

Warrick County Paint Disposal Day — Sat Sep 26, 2026 · 8am–noon
811 S Pelzer Rd, Boonville. Free paint / stain / aerosol drop for Warrick residents with photo ID; labels required. Same Saturday as Daviess Tox Away across the river — different county.
Boonville Free Shred Day (soft look-ahead) – Fri Oct 16, 2026, 10am-1pm
Walmart parking lot, Boonville. Free paper shred up to 100 lb. This is a soft look-ahead after the Vanderburgh Sep 18 and Daviess Sep 25 shreds; confirm locally before you go.
Newburgh leaf-in-cart truth (standing service cue)
Town trash/recycle page: separate leaf pickup days are not part of the current Renewable Resources contract; yard waste and leaves go inside the 96-gal trash cart. The older news page listing Thursday Nov 7 and Thursday Dec 5 matches 2024 weekdays, not 2026 – do not treat it as current.
Soft note
No county-wide fall tire amnesty, full HHW day, or free dump day is published for Warrick in this window (older Kaiser HHW/tire pages are 2022-2023). River Sweep (Sat Oct 3, Old Lock and Dam Park) is a cleanup volunteer event – not a disposal drop. Confirm with the county before you go.
Warrick Paint Disposal Day – Sat Sep 26, 8am-noon at 811 S Pelzer Rd, Boonville; residents plus photo ID.
