Landfill
Sunny Farms Landfill, LLC
Sunny Farms Landfill, LLC, 12500 West County Road 18, Fostoria, 44830, Ohio
Sunny Farms Landfill in Fostoria sits off West County Road 18 and is where local residents and haulers bring trash that needs burial. It’s a large working site - not a tidy drop-off center - with trucks coming and going most days.
Pull up to an entrance booth and a truck scale; tipping fees are charged by weight, so plan for a weigh-in and a weigh-out. After the scale the road leads to the active dumping areas and haul roads where heavy equipment moves piles around. The ground is mostly gravel and compacted dirt, and it looks like an industrial landscape rather than a public park. Lines form fastest on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so expect some wait time then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so debris doesn’t fly out on the drive over and unloading goes smoother.
- Load items in rough groups (metal, bulky junk, brush) so it’s quicker to drop them in whichever spot is requested on the pit.
- Avoid peak times if possible - lunchtime or weekday afternoons are often quieter than weekend mornings during busy seasons.
