Phoenix Resources Landfill

Phoenix Resources Landfill at 782 Antrim Rd. in Wellsboro is the local place where trash gets buried - used by residents with big loads and by haulers. It’s the final stop for material that can’t go to smaller drop-off sites, so expect a working landfill atmosphere rather than a tidy recycling center.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale; landfills like this typically charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop on the scale and then again when you leave. After the scale, follow the lane to the tipping area where trucks back in to dump - lots of heavy equipment, compacted soil and tall fill faces instead of buildings. The site is mostly open ground with piles and heavy machinery; cones or signs usually show the traffic flow, and lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup season. Be prepared for dust, mud in wet weather, and big trucks moving around.
