American Landfill

American Landfill in Waynesburg is the local burial site for household and larger loads of trash, the kind of place contractors and townsfolk both use. It’s a straightforward landfill on Chapel Street, not a transfer station or recycling center, and people come here when they need to get rid of bulk material for final disposal.

There’s a gatehouse/booth at the entrance and a set of scales to drive over-most landfills charge by weight, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the road that winds past working faces and capped cells; the site looks like a mix of dirt roads, compacted fill, and equipment. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so lines are possible. Recycling or drop-off containers are often off to one side, separate from the main dumping area.
