Apex Landfill in Amsterdam, OH is the local place where trash gets buried - mostly used by haulers, contractors, and residents with big loads. It’s a no-frills landfill off County Highway 78 that sees a steady stream of commercial and residential trucks.
Drive up the entrance road and there’s usually a scale house you’ll stop at; charges are weight-based at landfills of this kind, so expect to weigh in and weigh out. The drop area is a wide, graded pad with compacted dirt and berms; long trailers and roll-offs are common sights. Look for a small office or booth near the entrance where paperwork is done and tickets are issued, then pull forward to the tipping face when directed. On busy weekends and spring cleanups lines can build, so there’s often a bit of queuing through the driveway.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure any loose loads and tarps before getting to the scale-loose debris can slow unloading or get rejected.
- Bring identification and any necessary load paperwork in a place that’s easy to hand over at the booth.
- If hauling a large or commercial load, arrive early in the day to avoid longer lines and hotter work conditions at the tipping area.
