Overview

Central Landfill operations include:

  • Household Waste Cell (working face): The most expensive to build, the household waste cell is a working lined cell for disposal of leachate producing materials such as daily household waste;
  • Construction and Demolition Cell (C&D): An unlined cell for disposal of materials that do not present a hazard to the environment such as wood, concrete, tires and other construction debris;
  • Asbestos Cell: A toxic material, once asbestos is buried it may never be uncovered again;
  • Hazardous Waste Processing Facility: This facility takes oils, antifreeze, pesticides, herbicides, asbestos, other dangerous or flammable liquids, batteries and electronics;
  • Composting Classroom: The Borough sponsors FREE training for those wishing to learn to compost. The savings from keeping this waste from the household waste cell easily pays for the cost of the program. Find upcoming classes on our Recycling page;
  • Facilities maintenance operations; and
  • Vehicle and equipment maintenance operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Central Landfill website?

This page is part of the Wastebits Locator, a directory of waste handlers and service providers. It is not the official website of Central Landfill. Is there information that we can update to keep things accurate? Request an edit to this page.

Can all trash be sent to a landfill?

Not always. Some materials may need to be handled differently because of local rules, the type of waste involved, or the way a particular landfill operates.

Why are some materials kept out of landfills?

Some materials need different handling because of safety, environmental, or regulatory concerns. Others may be banned from landfill disposal because there are better recovery, treatment, or recycling options available.
