Caldwell Landfill
Caldwell Landfill, 11380 N 300 E, Morristown, 46161, Indiana
A no-frills county landfill just north of Morristown at 11380 N 300 E. Locals, contractors and commercial haulers use this site when loads are too big for curbside pickup. It’s the final burial spot for trash rather than a recycling drop-off.
Drive in and pull up to a small entrance booth and a scale; tipping fees are typically charged by weight so plan to stop at the scale again on the way out. The property is mostly dirt and mounded cells with heavy trucks coming and going, so expect some dust and wide turning areas. Commercial trucks are common, and there’s usually space for trailers to back to a tipping face. Weekends, especially spring cleanup times, get backed up - bring a little patience.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and straps on any loose or light material; debris can blow off while waiting or driving through the site.
- If hauling a trailer, have a spotter ready and practice backing - the tipping zones can be tight and visibility from the cab is limited.
- Try for a weekday or early morning visit to avoid the worst lines; even small loads can take longer when trucks are queued.
