Commonwealth Environmental Systems Keystone Landfill

Commonwealth Environmental Systems Keystone Landfill is the large burial site on Commonwealth Road outside Hegins that serves local haulers and people bringing full loads. Big rigs and contractor trucks use it as the final stop for material that needs to be buried; residents who drag a trailer out here for a cleanup will see the same traffic.

The entrance has a weigh scale and an attendant booth; trucks pull up, get weighed, tip, and usually get weighed again leaving. The property looks like a working industrial hill-compacted cells, access roads carved into the slopes, and heavy equipment moving material. Expect to wait in a short line at busy times, and plan your drive in so larger trucks can maneuver the approach road and turnout. As a landfill, fees are generally handled as tipping fees based on weight, and these types of sites commonly accept commercial loads.
