Northern Tier Solid Waste Authority Facility

Northern Tier Solid Waste Authority Facility sits on US-6 in Wellsboro and handles the kinds of household trash, recyclables and yard material locals haul in. It’s used by residents and commercial haulers alike, so expect a working yard rather than a tidy customer center. The place looks like a typical county transfer area with containers, piles and heavy equipment moving things around.

Pull off US-6 into a drive lane and stop at the initial check point or entrance area before heading to drop-off spots. Different materials are usually grouped in separate sections-recycling bins, a yard waste area and open tipping spots-so vehicles move from one spot to the next. The surface can be dusty or muddy depending on weather and there will often be trucks and loaders working, so keep clear of moving equipment. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so time visits accordingly.
