Lake View Landfill on Robison Road is the Waste Management landfill that handles both household drop-offs and bigger commercial hauls for the Erie area. Regulated by the Pennsylvania DEP like other landfills in the state, this is a private facility that routinely accepts commercial loads as well as residential traffic.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale; landfills charge by weight so a weigh-in and weigh-out is typical. The site is large with heavy equipment moving and piles of cover material and compacted trash visible from the access road. After the scale, traffic is routed to a tipping area where trucks back in to unload; expect trucks and loaders to be active, so watch for blind spots. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so busy periods can add a fair bit of waiting time.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home - loose debris spreads and slows down unloading.
- Be ready to stop twice for weighing: once in and once out; plan a little extra time for the process.
- Drive carefully once on-site and keep clear of big trucks and loaders; this place moves a lot of heavy equipment.
