Conestoga Landfill

Conestoga Landfill on Quarry Road in Morgantown is the local landfill where trash gets taken to be buried. Neighbors, local haulers and businesses use landfills like this when material is too big or mixed for smaller drop-off centers. Pennsylvania landfills are regulated by the DEP, and facilities of this type commonly handle both residential and commercial loads.

Drive toward the gate and there’s usually an entrance booth and a scale nearby; tipping fees at landfills are most often charged by weight, so vehicles are weighed in and out. Pull up to the scale house or booth to report the load, then follow signs or directions to the active dumping area-trucks and roll-offs queue up, so be ready to wait for a turn. The site is mostly open earth and compacted cells with heavy truck traffic and piles of cover material; it won’t look tidy like a recycling drop-off but it functions for large volumes. Plan on stopping at the scale again after dumping since charges are typically based on net weight.
