Southern Alleghenies Landfill

Southern Alleghenies Landfill on Miller Picking Road is the large landfill that local residents and commercial haulers use when trash needs to be buried rather than dropped off for recycling. Big trucks, trailers and everyday cars show up here - not a small transfer station but the final place where loads get tipped and covered.

You'll cross a scale on the way in and again on the way out - tipping fees are charged by weight, so plan for that extra stop. A small entrance booth and scalehouse mark the gate, then gravel roads lead past working cells and piles of compacted cover dirt. The site looks industrial: heavy equipment, graded dirt berms and open tipping areas rather than neat roll-off bins. Weekends and spring clean-up bring backups, so lines and a bit of mud are common in bad weather.
