Transfer Stations & Dumps in Columbus: FAQ

Can I drop off household trash at a transfer station in Columbus, OH?

Most transfer stations and convenience centers take household garbage and bulky items, but some serve only commercial haulers and county sites may ask for proof of residency. Check the listing or call before you go.

How much does the dump cost in Columbus, OH?

Fees are usually charged by weight or by load, with surcharges for tires, mattresses, appliances, and construction debris. Some county convenience centers are free for residents because local taxes fund them.
