(724) 836-4121Illegal Dump Free PA is the landfill out on W 4th Street that handles final burial of municipal and commercial loads. Neighbors, contractors and haulers use it when the trash needs to be tipped and buried rather than recycled or transferred. It’s not a transfer station or drop-off recycling center-this is the place where waste gets buried at the end of the line.
Drive up to an entrance booth and prepare to be directed onto a scale; loads are charged by weight so the scale is part of the routine. The tipping face and cells are large-this is a full-scale landfill rather than a small neighborhood dump, so expect heavy equipment and open areas with compacted soil and cover. Commercial trucks are accepted here, and there’s a tipping-fee structure rather than a flat per-bag charge, so larger hauls pay accordingly. Traffic can back up at busy times, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait.
