Apex Sanitary Landfill
Apex Sanitary Landfill, 11 County Road 78, Amsterdam, 43903, Ohio
Apex Sanitary Landfill, at 11 County Road 78 in Amsterdam, Ohio, is the local place for burying large amounts of trash. Contractors, haulers and residents with big loads use it when curbside pickup won’t do.
There’s a small scale/entrance booth where trucks pull up to be weighed before dumping and then again on the way out - tipping fees are charged by weight. The property is large with long access roads, mounded fill and heavy equipment working the active cells; expect plenty of truck traffic. After the initial weigh-in, drivers are directed to the active disposal area, then return to the scale to settle charges based on tonnage. Commercial trucks are common, so assume commercial loads are handled and that rates differ from smaller residential drops.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before hauling - loose debris blows off and creates extra cleanup time or delays.
- Have any hauling paperwork ready if bringing contractor or business loads; larger landfills commonly ask for company info or manifests.
- Try to avoid weekends and spring-cleanup peak times when lines and wait times get noticeably longer.
