Commonwealth Environmental Systems (CES) Landfill

Commonwealth Environmental Systems (CES) Landfill in Hegins is the local burial site where trash is finally buried; both residential haulers and larger commercial trucks use it. It looks like a big working site - mounded caps, heavy machines, and wide gravel roads. People drop off what’s left after recycling or transfer loads from smaller haulers here.

Pull up to a small entrance booth and then onto a scale - tipping fees are calculated by weight, so vehicles are usually weighed in and weighed out. The site is large with plenty of room to maneuver for trucks; expect heavy equipment moving around and open tipping faces. Commercial trucks are common at private landfills like this, and fees are typically charged by the ton rather than per bag. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form.
