Modern Landfill
Modern Landfill, 4400 Mount Pisgah Road, York, 17406, Pennsylvania
Modern Landfill on Mount Pisgah Road is the local burial site for municipal and commercial trash outside York. People drop off everything from pickup-bed cleanouts to larger contractor loads; material is buried on site rather than processed for reuse.
There’s a scale and a small entrance booth by the road where vehicles normally stop to be weighed before heading to the tipping area. Tipping fees are based on weight, so expect a weigh‑in and a weigh‑out when leaving. The site looks like large worked cells and compacted slopes, with constant truck traffic and dusty roads in dry weather. Lines tend to form on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so allow extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads so debris doesn’t blow out on the drive and to speed things up during the weighing/tipping sequence.
- Plan for the weigh‑in/out: drive slowly onto the scale lane, leave space to pull forward to the tipping face, and be prepared to stop twice.
- Try to avoid weekend and spring-cleanup peak times-those are when the line of trucks gets longest and delays are most likely.
