Broome County Landfill

Broome County Landfill on Knapp Road is the county dump that Binghamton residents and local haulers use for final disposal. It’s a true landfill - big earth berms and compacted cells rather than a transfer station. County landfills like this commonly charge tipping fees by weight and often take commercial loads, though exact rules depend on the municipality.

Drive up the long gravel driveway and you’ll come to a small scale house or booth where vehicles are weighed; expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out since tipping is typically weight-based. After weighing, follow the internal road to the active tipping area - large mounds of compacted material and heavy equipment are visible from most viewpoints. The site is dusty and industrial, with trucks lining up at peak times and a clear traffic pattern for entering and exiting the cells. Many towns in New York require resident permits or stickers, so administrative checks at the booth are common.
