Lancaster Refuse Site on Mary Ball Road is the local spot most Lancaster residents use for household trash and cleanouts. Located at 8311 Mary Ball Rd, it’s a county-run disposal site that’s easy to find from town.
There’s an entrance booth and usually a scale near the drive, so plan to pull up and check in before unloading. The property is basically a cleared lot with piles, roll-off containers and lanes for trucks - not fancy, just practical. Weekends and spring-cleanup periods get backed up, so expect lines at busy times. Many county sites charge a fee, so have payment ready when approaching the booth or scale area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down or cover loose loads; debris blows everywhere and makes unloading slower.
- Load bulky items like furniture and branches so they’re easy to reach and separate from loose trash for quicker dumping.
- Bring photo ID or proof of residency if required, and try to come early on weekends to avoid long waits.
