Transfer Station

Washington Refuse Transfer Sta

12721 Buchanan Trail E, Waynesboro, PA 17268

(717) 762-4413

Small transfer station in Waynesboro where residents haul smaller loads to be compacted and shipped on to a landfill. Locals drop by with trash, yard debris and bags from cleanup days; it’s mostly used by people who don’t want to drive to a big county landfill.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale; vehicles often pause twice - in and out. The site is mostly concrete and metal bays with a few roll-off areas and a big compactor pile in the middle. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short wait before getting to the drop-off point. Staff typically direct traffic from the booth to the proper bay, and trucks collect the compacted loads for transport off site.

Before You Go

  • Bring something to cover loose debris in the truck bed so it doesn’t blow out while waiting in line.
  • If hauling bulky items, have them sorted and ready before reaching the booth to speed things along.
  • Plan for a short wait on Saturdays and early April/May - arrive earlier in the morning if possible.
