York County Solid Waste Authority

York County Solid Waste Authority is the county's general drop-off and transfer spot for household trash, recyclables, and yard debris in York. Locals bring everything from bagged trash to a load of branches, and regular drivers will recognize the tall signs on Black Bridge Road as the entrance point.

Drive up to an entrance booth where vehicles briefly stop to report in before moving onto the scale; the scale is crossed twice, once in and once out, so expect a short delay. Concrete pads, metal containers, and a few recycling bays are visible from the drive; larger trucks move around, so stay alert when backing up. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanups, with passenger cars usually moving faster than trailers and trucks. Leave bulky items visible and separated from mixed loads to make unloading quicker.
