Bradford County Landfill
Bradford County Landfill, 108 Steam Hollow Road, Troy, 16947, Pennsylvania
Bradford County Landfill on Steam Hollow Road in Troy is the place local garbage and hauler loads get buried. Neighbors and small commercial haulers use it - think of it as a working landfill, not a quick drop-off recycling site.
Drive in and you'll come to a small entrance area with a scale and a booth; vehicles are usually weighed so expect to stop twice, once in and again on the way out. After weighing, trucks and pickups head to the active tipping area to unload; the site is mostly dirt, mounded cells, and heavy equipment moving around. Tipping fees are charged by weight, so the final charge depends on what the scale records, and larger commercial loads are commonly handled at county landfills. Lines can form when big trucks are dumping, and access roads can get muddy after rain, so allow a bit of extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items before the drive in-loose debris blowing off a truck is the most common issue on Steam Hollow Road.
- Have a rough sense of how heavy or bulky the load is; because fees are by weight, heavier loads take longer at the scale and cost more overall.
- Wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves-ground is often uneven and unloading can be dirty, especially on wet spring days when things slow down.
