Seneca Landfill Inc.
Seneca Landfill Inc., 421 Hartmann Road, Evans City, 16033, Pennsylvania
Seneca Landfill Inc. on Hartmann Road is the spot in Evans City where residents and commercial haulers bring material to be buried. Pennsylvania DEP regulates landfills across the state, and this is a full-scale private landfill rather than a small neighborhood drop-off.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight, and commercial loads are accepted and typically billed differently than residential ones. After weighing, vehicles move out to the active dumping area; expect large dirt berms, compacted mounds of material, and heavy equipment shuttling loads around. Dry days get dusty and wet days can make the driveways sloppy. Weekends and spring cleanup season commonly have lines, so allow extra time for the visit.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads before getting on site - loose debris adds handling time and can slow things down.
- Know whether a load is commercial or residential ahead of going over the scale, since charges are weight-based and rates differ.
- Bring a truck or trailer that can back into a dumping position; the site is large and maneuvering room is needed for bigger rigs.
