Nicholas County Solid Waste Authority Landfill

Nicholas County Solid Waste Authority Landfill on Route 55 in Calvin is the county's burial site for municipal and larger loads, used by locals and hauling trucks alike. It's a working landfill out in the country-no frills, just the place people bring big cleanups and construction loads. Fees and accepted materials vary by county and state, so this sticks to the typical setup you’ll see at a county landfill.

Drive in and you’ll cross a scale near the entrance; landfills like this usually charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to be weighed. There’s often a small booth or gate at the front and a gravel access road that can get dusty or muddy depending on weather. The active dumping area is open dirt with heavy equipment moving material and covering cells; move slowly, secure your load, and follow the traffic flow for unloading and exit.
