Small county landfill out on Crooked Creek Road serving Putnam County residents and contractors. It’s the kind of place people drop larger construction debris or bulky household items that don’t fit in curbside pickup. Expect mostly local traffic with the occasional commercial truck showing up.
Drive in past a single entrance booth and you’ll see a scale near the entrance - fees are typically assessed by weight so trucks stop both in and out. The site is a working landfill: compacted cells, heavy equipment moving material, and piles of soil or cover material nearby. Pull up to the tipping area as directed by on-site signs or attendants, drop your load, then head back across the scale to finish the transaction.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or secure cover for loose loads - wind tends to scatter light debris on the access road.
- Arrive midweek if possible; weekends, especially during spring cleanup, often have longer lines and more waiting for tipping.
- Have a clear idea of what’s in your load and how it’s packed so unloading goes quickly and staff can direct where to put different items.
