Lancaster County Solid Waste in Bainbridge is the county solid waste site people use when something won’t fit at the curb or for bigger cleanup jobs. Neighbors stop by with everything from yard debris to bags of household trash and mixed recyclables. It feels like a working place - trucks, piles, and a few concrete pads where people drop things off.

Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to wait behind other vehicles during busy times; there’s usually a line on weekend mornings and in spring cleanup season. A scale and a staffed gate are common at facilities like this, so expect to be directed where to go and to drive onto or past the scale. Recycling and yard waste bins tend to be off to one side while bulk drop-off areas are on concrete pads or behind fences. Large roll-off containers and county trucks move material around, so watch for heavy equipment and follow the traffic flow through the site.

Before You Go

  • Sort loads in the truck before getting there - keeping recyclables, yard waste, and trash separated saves time at the drop-off points.
  • Bring helpers or straps for heavy items; getting bulky things out alone on a slope or concrete pad is slower and makes the line behind you longer.
  • Avoid weekend mid-mornings if possible; weekday mornings or right after the site opens (if timing works) usually have shorter lines and less equipment traffic.
