Where Is the Dump

Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania trash disposal is run mostly by county authorities, townships and a few big private landfills, so rules and fees change a lot from one county to the next. Many public sites need proof of residency or a permit, and most charge by weight with a small-load minimum. Hours and rates here come from official county and authority pages; sites we could not verify are listed with address only.

State rules to know

Electronics

Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act bans putting computers, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals in the regular trash. Take them to an electronics collection program. Official rule ↗

Leaf waste

Under Act 101, municipalities required to recycle must collect leaf waste separately for composting, so many towns run yard waste or leaf drop-offs. Official rule ↗

Hauling large loads

Vehicles over 17,000 lb GVWR, or dump trailers over 10,000 lb, hauling waste need Pennsylvania DEP waste transporter licensing (Act 90). Official rule ↗

Pennsylvania has no statewide household hazardous waste system. Counties run their own collection days or permanent sites (for example Lancaster County's free facility for residents), so check your county.
