Republic Services Modern Landfill

4400 Mt Pisgah Rd, York, PA 17406

(717) 246-2686

A big county landfill out on Mt Pisgah Road that people from York and nearby towns use when the curb pickup won't do. Trucks and trailers show up here - it's the place where garbage actually gets buried rather than sorted or transferred. Expect a working, no-frills operation geared to move large volumes.

There’s a scale booth near the entrance where vehicles stop for a weight ticket, and most folks have to pull forward to a second weigh-out on the way back. Landscaped berms and rows of compacted cells give the site a stepped, industrial look; the active disposal area is obvious from the access road. Tipping fees are charged by weight, with different rates for different kinds of loads, so commercial haulers and contractors commonly use the site. Traffic can back up during weekend cleanups and spring, and larger trucks have a separate entrance lane.

Before You Go

  • Drive slow and follow the flow - look for the scale lanes first and be ready to stop there twice for weighing.
  • Bring paperwork that shows what’s in a commercial load in case it’s requested, and have a plan for how to tarp or cover loads while waiting in line.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings during spring cleanup; midweek or later in the afternoon usually moves quicker for smaller pickups.
