Decatur Hills Landfill
Decatur Hills Landfill, 2090 S CR 280 E, Greensburg, 47240, Indiana
Decatur Hills Landfill on S CR 280 E in Greensburg is the county landfill where larger household loads and commercial hauls end up when the convenience centers won’t do. Locals with trailers and hauling businesses both use it, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and big rigs rolling through.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale-landfills this size typically charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on being weighed. Pull in, follow the truck flow to the active dumping area, then head back to the scale when you’re done; the site is mostly dirt and gravel with heavy equipment moving about. Maneuvering space is generous overall but can feel tight when several trucks are there, and lines build up on weekends and during spring clean-up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before driving over - wind and passing trucks will scatter things if not tied down.
- Allow extra time for the weigh-in and weigh-out sequence; aim for a weekday morning to avoid peak waits.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves and be prepared for uneven ground and debris near the active dumping area.
