Wayne Township Landfill

Wayne Township Landfill sits out on Landfill Lane in the Lock Haven area and is where local household and larger loads end up. It’s a working landfill with big earth berms and heavy equipment moving around, used by neighbors and haulers when trash needs a final resting place.

Expect to cross a scale on the way in - landfills generally charge by weight, so plan to be weighed and billed based on the difference between inbound and outbound weights. There’s typically an entrance booth and a queue of vehicles; pull onto the scale, head up to the tipping area when it’s your turn, then return to the scale to be weighed out. The site is mostly gravel and compacted dirt, can be dusty, and has visible piles and machinery; while policies vary, landfills of this scale commonly accept commercial loads and use a tipping-fee structure rather than per-bag pricing.
