Bellefonte Boro Landfill on RR 3 is the borough landfill in Bellefonte, PA, used by local residents and by commercial haulers bringing loads for burial. It’s the kind of place people go when the town drop-off centers won’t take a full truck or a big load.
The site feels industrial-gravel drives, trucks queued up, and open tipping areas rather than neat rows of bins. There’s a scale and a small entrance booth; loads are typically weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, so plan on stopping to be weighed in and weighed out. Pull up to the booth/scale first, then follow traffic to the active dumping face; heavy trucks and some dust are common. Expect basic signage and a working, no-frills layout rather than anything landscaped or sorted on site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have the load sorted and ready before reaching the booth-loose or mixed piles take longer to dump and slow the line.
- Bring a tarp and straps so debris doesn’t blow out on the drive; cleanup can add time if things fall off.
- Avoid busy weekend mornings and spring cleanup days if possible; lines and waits get noticeably longer then.
