Dump-Ins is the neighborhood dump on Leonard Ave that locals swing by with trailers, pickup loads, and curbside bags. People from Columbus come here for regular household drop-offs and end-of-season cleanups. It's the kind of place used more when yards need a lot of clearing than for small daily trash needs.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to wait in a short lane if it's busy; weekends and spring cleanup tend to slow things down. There’s usually a scale near the entrance so vehicles stop twice-once coming in and again on the way out if charging is by weight. The site looks like a typical dump: large open piles, a few concrete drop boxes, and covered areas for different materials. Pull up slowly and follow the vehicle ahead, keeping loads tarped and loose items ready to toss where directed.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items with a tarp or rope before getting to the gate so nothing blows out while waiting in line.
- Separate recyclables or bulky items before getting out of the truck to speed up unloading once at the drop-off point.
- Bring gloves and a handy broom; small debris and nails tend to end up in truck beds and shoes after unloading.
