Refuse Collection at 2100 Alum Creek Dr is the local spot for dropping off household and neighborhood waste from Columbus residents. Neighbors and small haulers use it for everyday disposal needs. The site handles community-level waste rather than commercial recycling or hazardous processing.
Drive up to a visible entrance with an attendant booth and lanes to pull into; larger trucks and trailers share the same area as pickups and cars. There’s a scale area typical of municipal disposal sites, so vehicles may be weighed as they come and go. The site feels industrial - concrete pads, big roll-off containers, and compacted material piles are common sights. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have lines, so plan for a short wait if traffic is heavy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a photo ID or proof of residency, since many local facilities check that before accepting residential loads.
- Secure loose items in trucks or trailers and tarp loads to prevent debris from blowing out on the drive in and out.
- Use smaller weekdays if possible; traffic and wait times are usually higher on weekend mornings and during neighborhood cleanup seasons.
