A county landfill on the edge of Clarion that handles the typical mix of residential, farm and commercial loads you see around here. It's a working dump - big mounds, heavy equipment and a scale for weighing trucks. People from town and area farms use it, especially during spring and fall cleanup seasons.
Drive up a short lane to a scale and an entrance area where trucks line up; tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to stop on the scale both in and out. The site is large - open cells, compacted dirt roads and loaders moving material around, so give large trucks room to maneuver. Recycling or drop-off containers, if present, tend to be off to one side near the entry area. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, and farm trailers or commercial pickups are a common sight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your load secured before getting near the scale - loose tarps and shifting material slow the line.
- Leave extra time on busy weekends and during spring or fall farm seasons; lines form quickly during those windows.
- Position the trailer so unloading is easy for the loaders; pulling up straight and centered keeps traffic moving.
