York County Solid Waste Collection & Recycling

York County Solid Waste Collection & Recycling is the county recycling center in York where residents and small haulers bring curbside overflow and sorted recyclables. Regular folks drop off boxes of paper and cardboard, bottles, cans and the like; it’s the practical place for keeping those materials out of the landfill. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything fancy.

The site is the kind of place with a paved drive-in area and a row of large collection containers or baler bays for common recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals. Pull up, unload into the appropriate container, and move on; many county centers have a small entrance booth or weigh station and separate lanes for different material types. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so there can be a line of trucks and trailers waiting to drop off. The overall feel is utilitarian-concrete pads, signage over the bays, and traffic flow that keeps vehicles moving through.
