Lanchester Landfill
Lanchester Landfill, 7224 Division Highway, Narvon, 17555, Pennsylvania
Lanchester Landfill on Division Highway in Narvon is the place most folks haul larger-than-normal trash loads. Contractors, landscapers and homeowners dropping off big cleanouts are all common here. The site looks and feels like a working landfill rather than a tidy transfer station-bring patience if there’s a line.
There’s a visible scale and an entrance booth where vehicles queue before being sent in; tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to be weighed. Pull up slowly and follow traffic flow-big trucks and roll-offs move through the same lanes. The working face and large berms dominate the view, with compacted piles and driving lanes of gravel or dirt. Commercial trucks are a regular presence, so give extra room when maneuvering.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Avoid weekend afternoons and major spring cleanup days if possible; those times get backed up.
- Secure tarps and tie down loose material before arriving-loose debris can make unloading slow and messy.
- Plan for the scale: unload in an orderly spot so a quick exit back across the scale is possible, and leave space for larger commercial trucks to pass.
