Pennsylvania rules and programs

  • Yard waste landfill ban

    Partly

    Pennsylvania bars landfills and incinerators from taking truckloads made up mostly of leaf waste (leaves, garden residue, shrub and tree trimmings, but not grass clippings). Larger towns must collect leaf waste for recycling.

  • Secured load law

    Yes

    Loads must be fastened so nothing drops, sifts, leaks or comes loose, and loose garbage going to a disposal site needs a vehicle with four solid sides and a tight cover. Fines are $100 to $300, or $300 to $1,000 if it causes injury or damage.

    Hauling uncovered loose or baled garbage in violation of the garbage rules is fined $300 to $1,000.
