Evergreen Landfill in Northwood is the local place where trash gets buried - used by households and haulers from around the area. It’s a full-scale landfill facility in Ohio, so both residential and commercial tip-offs are the kind of traffic seen here.
A weigh scale and entrance booth are part of the process, and tipping fees are handled by weight rather than by load count. Pull up to the booth, they’ll direct where to drop; then follow the roadway out to the working face to unload. The site looks like a typical large landfill - long access roads, piles and covered cells, and a fairly open, dusty working area. Expect to stop on the scale again when leaving since charges are calculated from the exit weight.

Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads with a tarp before driving in; wind-blown debris is a hassle for everyone.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible - spring and fall cleanup times tend to have the longest lines.
- Sort heavy materials at home so the truck unloads quickly; a quick, single pass at the tipping face saves time and keeps traffic moving.
