Hoosier Landfill

Small regional landfill outside Claypool where locals and contractors bring trash that can't go to convenience centers. It’s the kind of place used by homeowners during big cleanups and by trucks hauling commercial loads. The entrance sits off S Packerton Rd, so expect a rural, working-site feel.

A concrete scale is usually set before the gate-landfills of this type commonly charge tipping fees by weight, so vehicles often stop twice for weighing. Pull up to a small booth or office area near the entrance to check in, then follow the gravel drive toward the active cell or drop-off area. The site looks like heavy equipment territory: compacted dirt, berms of cover material, and dump spots rather than neat piles or bins. Weekends and spring cleanup times can back traffic up, so there’s sometimes a line of trucks or pickups waiting to get through the gate.
