Daviess County Landfill
Daviess County Landfill, 1640 N 650E, Montgomery, 47558, Indiana
Daviess County Landfill at 1640 N 650E in Montgomery is the county landfill where household trash, construction debris and larger loads end up for burial. Locals, contractors and haulers from around the county use it - expect pickups, trailers and rolloffs coming through.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth at the front, so trucks usually stop to be weighed before and after tipping. Landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, with minimums and different commercial rates commonly applied. The site is mostly dirt roads, working cells and compacted soil piles; backing in and uneven ground are normal. Weekends and spring cleanup season bring lines at the scale, so expect some wait time at busy moments.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads - loose trash blows off on the gravel drive and makes a mess on county roads.
- Have a plan for how the truck or trailer will back to the drop point; low-clearance vehicles can struggle on rutted or wet sections of the site.
- Build extra time into the trip for the scale line on weekends or during spring cleanup; commercial haulers are usually processed differently, so expect a second weigh-in.
