LandComp Landfill

LandComp Landfill sits out at 2840 E. 13th Road in Ottawa and is where locals haul loads that are meant to be buried rather than recycled. People bring everything from household cleanouts to contractor loads; state rules and the landfill's own policies determine what’s accepted and what fees apply. It’s the kind of place you go to when trash has to go away for good.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale - loads are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to cross the scale on the way in and again on the way out. The site is large: expect piles of cover material, heavy equipment moving around, and plenty of trucks and trailers. Follow the traffic flow used by other vehicles to the unloading area, then return to the scale to be weighed and billed. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to back up, so allow extra time if heading over then.
