Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority Landfill on Russell Road is the county landfill where household trash and larger municipal loads get buried. People from Lebanon and nearby townships bring anything from small carloads to big trucks; like most landfills there’s usually a scale and tipping fees charged by weight. Facilities like this are regulated by the Pennsylvania DEP.
Pulling in, expect a large open site with trucks, heavy equipment, and piles of compacted material and cover dirt. You’ll usually stop on a scale and then again after unloading since fees are typically weight-based. Follow the flow of other trucks to the active tipping area; watching what the last driver does is often the fastest way to figure things out. Weekends and spring cleanup season get backed up, so lines are common then.
