Westmoreland Waste Sanitary Landfill LLC on Tyrol Boulevard is the landfill outside Belle Vernon where trash gets buried rather than sorted. Private landfills like this often take both residential and commercial loads, and fees are commonly charged by weight. Pennsylvania DEP is the state regulator for facilities of this type.
There's an entrance booth and a scale-expect to stop for weighing when you come in and again on the way out since tipping fees are typically weight-based. The site looks like big compacted dirt cells, gravel roads, and heavy equipment; trucks and loaders move around, so give large vehicles space. Drivers are usually directed out to the active dumping area, unload, then head back over the scale. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and the access road can be dusty on dry days.
