Ottawa County Landfill
Ottawa County Landfill, 530 North Camp Road, Port Clinton, 43452, Ohio
Ottawa County Landfill on North Camp Road in Port Clinton is the county dump where residential and commercial loads end up being buried. It’s a large, working landfill and, like most county sites, tipping fees are handled by weight rather than by load type.
Drive up to a gated entry with a scale and an attendant booth-expect to be weighed in and weighed out. The property is big and open, with heavy equipment moving around and rows of compacted material; keep to the vehicle lanes and watch for trucks. After the weigh-in, follow signs or staff directions to the drop-off area and then return to the scale for the exit weight. The surface can be gravelly and dusty, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose trash before driving in to prevent debris from blowing onto the road.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables at home so unloading goes faster once in the drop-off area.
- Try to go on a weekday morning if possible-weekends and spring cleanup seasons tend to have the longest lines.
