Landfill
Hancock County Sanitary Landfill
Hancock County Sanitary Landfill, 10400 Allen Township Road 107, Findlay, 45840, Ohio
Hancock County Sanitary Landfill is the county landfill out on Allen Township Road 107 in Findlay, used by homeowners, contractors, and haulers. It's the place loads end up when they can't be recycled or otherwise reused, and trips here look different than dropping off at a transfer station.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale as part of the routine; drivers usually check in at the booth and then roll onto the scale. Tipping fees are charged by weight, so plan to stop for a weigh‑out on the way back. The site is large and mostly dirt and gravel with active cells and big mounds visible from the drop area; trucks line up during busy times. Expect weekend and spring cleanup congestion-midweek mornings tend to move faster.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and cover loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road and unloading is simpler.
- Sort bulky items ahead of time (metal, brush, mattresses, appliances) so dumping goes quicker and vehicles can move on.
- Have your license plate and vehicle info handy for the scale ticket, and aim for early weekday visits to avoid long lines.
