Rumpke Brown County Landfill
Rumpke Brown County Landfill, 9427 Beyers Road, Georgetown, 45121, Ohio
Rumpke Brown County Landfill on Beyers Road in Georgetown is where trash gets buried; locals and commercial haulers both end up here. The site is large and working - think rolling dirt cells, compactors and trucks rather than anything tidy or landscaped.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop; tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight, so expect to be weighed. Pull into the scale lane, then follow the flow of trucks to the active dumping area and watch for heavy equipment. The working faces look like layered piles being pushed and covered; it’s an industrial operation, not a transfer station.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads - wind and passing trucks tend to scatter light trash.
- Keep a safe distance from roll-off trucks and compactors; give large vehicles room to maneuver.
- Plan for waits on weekends and during spring cleanup; midweek mornings usually move faster.
