Waste Management - Earthmovers Landfill

A working landfill on the edge of Elkhart, Earthmovers Landfill is where residential and commercial hauls end up buried. Locals and contractors drop off everything from household cleanup to construction debris. It’s the final stop for materials that can’t be handled at convenience centers.

There’s a scale near the entrance so vehicles get weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, meaning you’ll stop once coming in and again on the way out. Pull up to the attendant booth for directions, then follow the road to an open tipping area where crews and heavy equipment operate. The site is large and mostly bare earth with big mounds and machinery moving loads around; expect dust and truck traffic. Commercial loads are accepted, and hauling rigs are common, so watch for wide turns and slow-moving vehicles.
