Newton County Landfill

Newton County Landfill, 2266 E. 500 South Road, Brook, 47922, Indiana

Newton County Landfill is the county landfill out on 2266 E. 500 South Road just outside Brook. Locals and haulers bring anything that won't fit in curbside pickup - it’s the place trash gets buried and moved through on a larger scale.

The site is a big, open, gravel-and-dirt area with visible earth mounds and heavy equipment in the distance. Expect an entrance booth and a scale where trucks stop to be weighed, since tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight or by vehicle type. Commercial haulers and pickup trucks both use the place, so do not be surprised to see trailers and semi-trucks alongside smaller loads. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so weekdays are usually quicker.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loose loads tightly so wind doesn’t scatter debris while driving in; tarps and straps save time and hassle.
  • Know what kind of vehicle you’re bringing - fees often differ between a pickup with a full bed, a trailer, or a commercial truck.
  • Bring paperwork or ID typical for county sites (proof of residency if required) and be ready to pull onto the scale and then back up to the disposal area when directed.
