LCSWMA accepts bulky items – mattresses, furniture, mowers, appliances, tires – at its facilities for a disposal fee. For curbside bulk pickup, arrange it through your private hauler or municipality. Household hazardous waste has a free drop-off.
Lancaster County residents have two paths for large items. LCSWMA facilities, including the Transfer Station Complex, accept bulky items such as mattresses, furniture, lawn mowers and snow blowers (with gas and oil removed), appliances, and tires for a disposal fee. For curbside bulk pickup, contact your private hauler or municipal office to schedule special collection. LCSWMA also runs a Household Hazardous Waste facility where Lancaster County residents may drop off chemicals, batteries, electronics, and televisions at no cost. Check LCSWMA's drop-off checklist and hours before visiting.
Dumping bulky items on roadsides or others' land instead of disposing of them properly is prosecuted as illegal dumping under state law (18 Pa.C.S. §6501).
