York County Solid Waste & Refuse Authority

Our Mission

Facilitate responsible waste management for York County.

The York County Solid Waste Authority aims to make the disposal of garbage easy while keeping our environment top of mind. We know people want to do the right thing, so we strive to provide long-term waste management programs and infrastructures that consider waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. The Authority:

Offers a place for large and small trash haulers to bring their loads, as well as a location for residents and businesses to drop off recyclables, bulk trash loads, electronics, refrigerants, metals, and yard waste.

Advises municipalities on curbside and drop-off center recycling programs.

Operates programs for electronics recycling, household hazardous waste collection, and Christmas tree recycling to decrease the county’s waste stream.

Educates the public about responsible waste management through community outreach, as well as tours of our Resource Recovery Center.
