Blue Ridge Landfill
Blue Ridge Landfill, 1660 Orchard Road, Chambersburg, 17202, Pennsylvania
Blue Ridge Landfill is the large burial site on Orchard Road in Chambersburg where both household and commercial trash end up. Locals and haulers use it - it’s not a small drop-off center but a full-scale landfill. Expect to see big trucks alongside pickup-trailer loads.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so plan to stop to be weighed and checked. Pull up slowly and give big rigs room; queues can form on weekends and during spring cleanups. The working area is mostly packed dirt with loaders and compactors moving material around, so it can be dusty or muddy. Tipping fees are charged based on the load weight, and the site accepts commercial deliveries, so larger trucks are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps - loose debris blowing out on the road is a regular annoyance.
- Plan for the scale: expect to stop for weighing and to wait in line at busy times, especially weekends or cleanup season.
- If hauling commercially, allow extra time and give large trucks plenty of space when backing and dumping.
