EZ Dump Roll is the local dump on E Nifong Blvd that people from Columbia bring yard waste and household debris to. Neighbors with trailers or pickup loads use it for quick drop-offs, so expect a mix of small trucks and residential haulers. It feels like a practical, working lot rather than a tidy civic park.
Pull off Nifong into a paved lot and look for a small attendant booth near the entrance; that booth is where drivers usually check in. A scale is commonly positioned on the way in or out at places like this, so be prepared to stop while they weigh the load. The site is mostly open asphalt and concrete pads with piles or containers set around the lot; signage and traffic cones guide where to pull up to toss items. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, producing short lines and some waiting around.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring straps or tarps: loose material can blow during the drive and staff at places like this often ask for loads to be secure before dumping.
- Have a plan for sorting: separate bulky items, brush, and mixed trash in the truck so unloading goes faster and you don’t shuffle things around at the edge of a pile.
- Expect to stop to be weighed and to follow attendants’ directions for where to dump; allow an extra 15–30 minutes on weekends or during neighborhood cleanups.
