Washington Township Recycling

12725 Buchanan Trail E, Waynesboro, PA 17268

(717) 762-4413

Washington Township Recycling is a small recycling center out on Buchanan Trail E that folks from Waynesboro and nearby parts of Franklin County use when they want to keep recyclables out of the landfill. Neighbors bringing household loads, small contractors, and people doing yard cleanup tend to show up here.

Drive in past an entrance booth and follow signs to pull up; many centers like this have a scale and a pay station near the entrance. The site is a working yard with rows of drop-off containers and a concrete pad where people unload-expect trucks and trailers moving about. Centers of this type commonly accept paper, cardboard, metal, certain plastics, glass, electronics and yard debris, and sometimes run seasonal or special collection programs for things like electronics or tires. Weekends can back up, especially in spring and fall, so there may be a line to get to the drop-off points.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials by type before getting out of the vehicle so unloading goes faster and there’s less fumbling at the bins.
  • Bring tie-downs or tarps for loose debris in truck beds and trailers; windy roads can scatter paper and leaves.
  • Plan for a possible wait on weekends or during community cleanup events and load the vehicle so heavier items are easiest to get to first.
