(856) 665-8787Pennsauken Sanitary Landfill is the large township landfill off River Road that handles bulk trash from pickups and heavier truck loads. Locals and haulers use it when they have large amounts to get rid of, so expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything tidy or landscaped.
A scale and a small entrance booth sit by the driveway; vehicles are typically weighed so tipping fees are calculated by weight. After the booth, drive lanes lead out to open cells and dirt piles with loaders and trucks moving around. The whole place looks industrial-wide gravel roads, compacted trash areas, and heavy equipment in motion. Weekends, especially during spring cleanups, can back up into the entrance lane.
