Trash crisis looms over York County, as landfill nears capacity

York County is running out of places to put its trash. More than half currently ends up at Modern Landfill in Windsor and Lower Windsor Townships. The landfill, though, is on track to reach capacity by 2025. A proposal to expand the landfill would increase its capacity by 57 percent, from 42 million cubic yards to 66 million cubic yards of trash. The expansion is estimated to extend the life of the landfill 25 to 30 years. That proposal was rejected unanimously by Lower Windsor Township supervisors in a December 2020 vote. Township officials declined to talk about the issue with FOX43, but board meeting minutes from the vote said the supervisors were concerned about the increased footprint of the proposed expansion.
