Landfill
Newton County Landfill
2266 E 500 S, Brook, IN 47922
Newton County Landfill is the county landfill serving the Buna/Deweyville area - the place where trash finally gets buried. Locals, contractors and small haulers use it for larger loads that won't fit in curbside pickup.
Pull in off County Road 3870 toward the scalehouse/entrance booth near the site entrance; larger trucks usually queue to be weighed. There’s a scale, so loads are handled on a weight or load-based tipping-fee system rather than flat curbside rates. The site looks like a typical rural landfill - open cells, heavy equipment working the piles, and a drive-up area to drop materials. Expect to stop, get directed where to unload, then return to the scale to complete the transaction.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before leaving the road to avoid fines or spillage during transport.
- Drive slowly into the site and watch for heavy equipment; visibility can be limited near working faces and access roads.
- Bring paperwork or vehicle information that shows whether a load is commercial versus residential, since tip fees are often structured differently for each.
