Lorain County Landfill I & II

Lorain County Landfill I & II, 43502 Oberlin-Elyria Road, Oberlin, 44074, Ohio

Get Directions

Lorain County Landfill I & II on Oberlin‑Elyria Road is the county landfill where residential and commercial haulers bring trash to be buried. Trucks, pickups and roll‑off trailers are a common sight, so expect a working, industrial feel rather than a tidy drop‑off center.

There’s a booth and a scale near the entrance so vehicles get weighed and tipping fees are based on weight - plan to stop twice, in and out. The driveways move big trucks alongside smaller vehicles; open cells, compacted piles and heavy equipment are visible from the road. Drivers are directed where to unload and then return to the scale; dust, gravel and some diesel smell are normal. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so patience is part of the trip.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loose loads before getting on the road - windblown debris creates extra hassle and delays at the gate.
  • Expect to be weighed both entering and exiting; keep the truck bed clear and don’t assume flat rates - tipping fees depend on weight and load type.
  • Avoid peak times (weekend afternoons and spring cleanup weekends) if possible; midweek mornings usually move faster when haulers are less congested.
