How disposal works in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, county solid waste authorities run many of the public sites and post their rates, usually by the ton with a minimum: $69.80 a ton at the Lycoming County Landfill, $85 at York County's Resource Recovery Center and $100 at LCSWMA in Lancaster County. Philadelphia residents drop off trash, bulky items, tires and electronics free at six city convenience centers.
State law keeps car batteries, whole tires and TVs and computers out of the trash and truckloads of leaves out of landfills, and every landfill and transfer station has to run a recycling drop-off.
We're writing Pennsylvania up place by place: 7 places are live, and our guide to what it costs to dump in Pennsylvania puts their rates side by side. The finder covers every open landfill and transfer station in the federal facility data, plus the drop-offs on our pages.
