Bartholomew County Landfill II, 811 E CR 450 S, Columbus, 47201, Indiana

Get Directions

Bartholomew County Landfill II is the county landfill out on E CR 450 S in Columbus, used by residents and haulers who have more than a carload or the small convenience center can handle. It’s the place where trash ends up being buried rather than recycled. Expect a larger, more industrial feel than a neighborhood drop-off.

The site is big and open with dirt and gravel roads, heavy equipment moving around, and visible earth cells where material is placed. There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale; many county landfills set tipping fees by weight or by vehicle type, so stopping to weigh in and weigh out is common. Pull up to the booth area, then follow posted signage or the traffic flow toward the active dumping pad and wait your turn to unload. Weekends-especially during spring clean-up-often have lines, so plan extra time.

Before You Go

  • Cover loose loads with a tarp and tie things down; it makes unloading quicker and prevents debris on the road.
  • If hauling commercial material, have business information or paperwork handy - many county landfills accept commercial loads but fees and rules can differ from residential trips.
  • Leave room for backing and take it slow; the pads are big and require maneuvering, so a passenger spotting while reversing helps.
