Get Directions

Cherokee Run Landfill on US-68 north of Bellefontaine is the place where local trash gets buried - think big mounds and heavy equipment rather than a tidy drop-off. Landfills like this are used by both homeowners and haulers, so expect a mix of pickups and larger trucks rolling in.

There’s usually a weigh scale and a small entrance booth; loads are commonly charged by weight, so plan to be weighed when you come and again when you leave. Pull up to the booth, then follow the flow of traffic to the tipping area where trucks unload and machines push material into place. The site is open and gravelly, with dozers and compactors working the face, so watch for moving equipment and dusty conditions. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to back up traffic, so lines are possible.

Before You Go

  • Make unloading quicker by tarping and securing the load before arriving and keeping doors or tailgates easy to open.
  • Expect to be weighed in and out; leave a bit of room on the truck so shifting material doesn’t cause surprises on the outbound scale.
  • Wear boots and have gloves - the ground is often muddy or gravelly and a shovel helps if material needs sorting or clearing from the bed.
