Cecil County Central Landfill

Cecil County Central Landfill on East Old Philadelphia Road is the county’s main place for burying municipal and commercial trash. Locals, landscapers and haulers bring everything from household cleanouts to big commercial loads here, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and roll-offs on site.

There’s a drive-in approach with a weigh scale and an attendant booth, so plan on stopping to be weighed before and after dumping - tipping fees are charged by weight and small residential loads typically have a minimum charge. The site is large and open, with active working faces and long gravel drives where larger trucks maneuver around. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so traffic and waiting are common. Bring a vehicle that can back or angle into a dump area; visibility and space are more limited for long trailers.
