Ottawa County Farms Landfill
Ottawa County Farms Landfill, 15550 68th Avenue, Coopersville, 49404, Michigan
Ottawa County Farms Landfill is the county landfill out on 68th Avenue in Coopersville, used by homeowners, contractors and commercial haulers. Loads brought here get buried on-site, and the facility does accept commercial deliveries.
A small scalehouse or entrance booth sits near the drive; expect to stop for weighing since tipping fees are typically charged by weight. After weighing in, vehicles head to the active cell or unloading area and then usually cross the scale again on the way out. The site is large and open with mounded cells, heavy equipment, gravel roads and regular truck traffic. Dust and mud show up depending on the season, so plan for rough surfaces.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose loads-tarps and straps keep debris from blowing off on the drive in.
- Bring extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup; lines at the scale can form quickly.
- If towing a trailer, leave plenty of space and approach slowly-turning room near unloading areas can be tight with big equipment moving around.
