Columbus Pine Grove MSWLandfill

Columbus Pine Grove MSWLandfill on Pine Grove Way is the big municipal landfill in Columbus where most non-recyclable trash ends up. Neighbors doing big cleanouts and commercial haulers both bring loads here, so expect a mix of pickups and big trucks. It's the place trash gets buried at the end of the line.

There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale - landfills like this commonly charge tipping fees either by weight or by a flat load, so plan on stopping at the scale. Pull-up lanes accommodate pickups and rigs; follow the site directions for where to queue and where to tip. The property is large, with long access roads and active working faces; it can be dusty in dry weather and very muddy after rain. Weekends and spring-cleanup days tend to have the longest lines and slowest movement.
