A working landfill on Conshohocken Road where trucks and pickups bring trash to be buried. Locals and haulers use it as the final stop for disposal, and the site handles both residential drop-offs and larger commercial loads.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale - vehicles typically weigh in, go to a designated dumping area, then weigh out on the way back so charges are by weight. The facility is large with visible earth mounds and compaction activity; expect heavy equipment moving around and dusty access roads. Traffic can back up at peak times, and trucks usually follow a clear flow from the scale to the active cell and back.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie-downs so loose material doesn’t blow off during the drive; loose debris will add cleanup time and hassle.
- Plan trips for weekday mornings if possible; weekends and spring cleanup periods are commonly busiest and slower-moving.
- Load size matters because charges are weight-based - avoid hauling unnecessary dirt or debris that’ll just increase the bill.
