Sandy Run Landfill
Sandy Run Landfill, 995 Landfill Road, Hopewell, 16650, Pennsylvania
Sandy Run Landfill at 995 Landfill Road in Hopewell is the local landfill where trash gets buried and hauled away. Neighbors, small haulers, and anyone with a big cleanout use it rather than a curb pickup or transfer station.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth-tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles are typically weighed in and out. Pull up to the scale/booth first and then follow directions for where to unload; trailers and roll-offs are common. The site is large with heavy equipment moving material and piles of compacted refuse and cover; be prepared for dusty, unpaved sections. Weekends and spring-cleanup season can back up traffic, so plan extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads-wind and bumps will scatter debris and slow the process.
- Have paperwork and a clear idea of what’s being hauled; being ready to show ID or vehicle info can speed the gate visit.
- If towing a long trailer, practice tight backing and leave extra room for turning-space can be limited near drop-off points.
