Mahoning Landfill

Mahoning Landfill in New Springfield is the place where trash actually gets buried - used by both local residents and commercial haulers. It’s a fairly large county-style landfill, the sort of site with equipment working the cells and long dirt drives between working faces and cover areas.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale - standard practice is to be weighed in and then weighed out, so plan for that extra stop. The site looks like rows of compacted material, heavy equipment moving soil and trash, and a mix of paved and gravel driving surfaces; pull up slowly and follow the attendants’ directions. Tipping fees are typically structured around weight at the scale with a minimum charge possible for small residential loads; commercial deliveries are handled regularly at landfills of this type. Lines can form at busy times, so expect to idle for a bit during weekend or spring cleanup periods.
