Gallia County Landfill
Gallia County Landfill, 497 Roush Hollow Road, Bidwell, 45614, Ohio
Gallia County Landfill on Roush Hollow Road is the county dump for household and commercial loads - the place trash gets buried rather than recycled. Locals and haulers use it, so expect the mix of pickups and big trucks on site.
Drive up the gravel access road and you'll pass a scale house or entrance booth where vehicles are weighed; tipping fees are usually charged by weight or by load type, as is typical for landfills. The yard itself is open, with dirt roads, working cells and piled cover material visible from the entrance. Commercial trucks and residential vehicles both unload here, so it's not unusual to wait in line during busy weekends or spring cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose material before hauling - wind and gravel roads make loose trash a headache for everyone.
- If bringing a commercial load, have any manifests or haul paperwork handy since commercial deliveries commonly require documentation.
- Allow extra time for the weigh-in and weigh-out process and for possible lines; backing into a dump spot can take longer when the site is busy.
