Pine Grove Landfill

Pine Grove Landfill in Amanda, Ohio is the local place where larger trash loads get buried rather than picked up at the curb. Neighbors and commercial haulers both swing by here when regular pickup won’t do. It’s a working landfill - practical and unglamorous, used by people hauling anything from household bulk to construction debris.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale; like most landfills, loads are weighed and tipping fees are based on weight, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the booth first and follow directions from there - cars and small trailers usually get sent to easier drop spots while bigger trucks are routed toward the active cell. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around, so it’s dusty and a bit rough underfoot. Busy times, such as spring cleanups and weekend mornings, often have lines that stretch back onto the road.
