Waste Management - Burlington County Landfill

24 Transfer Rd, Columbus, NJ 08022

(866) 909-4458

A working landfill in Burlington County where both residents and commercial haulers bring trash for final disposal. Located on Transfer Road in Columbus, it sees steady traffic thanks to New Jersey's dense population and county-run system. Locals and contractors use it for large cleanouts and regular waste drops alike.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for directions and to be weighed on the scale; charges are based on weight with standard tipping-fee structure rather than per-bag pricing. The site is large and open, with rows of compacted fill, heavy equipment moving around, and clearly marked lanes to pull up to the dumping area. After dumping, vehicles usually go back over the scale to record outgoing weight, so expect to stop twice. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and trucks and trailers are common on site.

Before You Go

  • Have the load secure and easy to unload before getting to the tipping face to move through the line quicker.
  • Plan for possible wait time on weekends or during seasonal cleanup periods; weekday mornings are often less crowded.
  • Use a vehicle or trailer that can be driven up to the active tipping area-low-clearance trucks can be awkward around the ramps and heavy equipment.
