Cumberland County Landfill in Newburg is the actual burial site for municipal and commercial trash in the area. Locals, haulers, and businesses use it when stuff can't be dropped at smaller transfer stations down the road.
Expect a gated entrance with a scale - trucks stop to get weighed, and tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the lane to the working face or pit area where attendants will direct parking and unloading. The site is large and mostly earthworks and compacted trash mounds, with heavy equipment moving around so keep clear of machinery. Lines can form during weekends and spring cleanups, so plan for some waiting if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and covered for the drive in - loose debris slows unloading and can get tracked everywhere.
- Bring ID or any required paperwork in case it's needed for commercial deliveries; paperwork is often checked when signing in at the booth.
- Use a daytime run for smaller pickups; heavy trucks and equipment are busiest midday, and mornings can be quicker for short residential drops.
