What You Can Recycle ... and Where


The Lancaster County Sold Waste Management Authority (LCSWMA) has assembled this list of Recycling Drop-Off Centers in Lancaster County as a guideline to individuals interested in recycling materials. Click on the material to go to a list of locations where the material is collected. This list is based on best information available at this time.

LCSWMA encourages individuals to first contact the Recycling Drop-Off Center for information about the acceptability of materials being delivered and any charges that may apply. As markets change, material types handled and quantity/quality requirements may change.
