Waste Management - Lancaster Landfill

2487 Cloverleaf Rd, Elizabethtown, PA 17022

(800) 869-5566

Lancaster Landfill on Cloverleaf Road is the large Waste Management landfill that handles final burial of municipal and commercial loads for the area. Locals, contractors, and haulers use it - expect the kind of scale where trucks and roll-offs are moving steadily and the tipping area sits well above the incoming road.

Drive past a security/entrance booth and cross a scale before getting directed where to pull up; tipping fees are charged by weight at facilities like this, so trucks usually stop twice. The working face and heavy equipment are visible from the approach, with covered cells and large berms shaping the site. There’s usually a separate spot for drop-off versus commercial roll-off trucks, and the exit scale is used again on the way out.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads - winds can scatter debris and some enforcement of covered loads is common in the region.
  • Avoid weekend mornings during spring and fall clean-up; lines can form and the wait time increases significantly.
  • Have paperwork and load details handy for quicker processing since commercial deliveries move through faster when documentation is ready.
