York County Solid Waste Center

A county-run solid waste center that handles everyday household trash, yard waste and common recyclables for York and nearby rural areas. Locals, farmers with small loads and pickup-truck runs make up most of the traffic. The place looks like a working site rather than a storefront - expect big equipment and a gravel yard.

Drive up to an entrance booth or scale area where loads are noted; most people stop once on the way in and again on the way out if there’s a scale. Dumping areas and containers are grouped by type, with recycling bins usually set off near the entrance road. Large trucks and tractors are common, so watch for slow-moving vehicles and give them space to maneuver. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, while midweek tends to be quieter.
