Northwest Philadelphia Sanitation Convenience Center
Philadelphia’s drop-off center on Domino Lane near Umbria Street, beside the new Northwest Transfer Station.
Northwest Philadelphia Sanitation Convenience Center is on the 300 block of Domino Lane, near Umbria Street. Its hours are Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed on City holidays. The Northwest Transfer Station, which the City opened at Domino Lane and Umbria Street in November 2025, is a separate facility for sanitation operations only and is not open to residents.
Serves: Philadelphia trash pickup and drop-off rules.
What this center takes and what it does not
The Northwest center works from the same City materials list as the other five: trash, recyclables, yard waste in paper bags, bulk items and appliances, tires, electronics, unwrapped mattresses and box springs, hardened latex paint, fluorescent bulbs and batteries, within daily limits. It does not accept commercial loads, construction debris or oil-based paint and other household hazardous waste.
About this site
City sources give the center’s street number as 300 Domino Lane (open data) and 301 Domino Lane (the hazardous waste service page); the older City list places it on the 300 block, near Umbria Street.
The Northwest Transfer Station at the same intersection is a $33 million facility that replaced a crane-and-packer operation more than 50 years old. The City said its November 2025 open house was the only time it would be open to the public. The adopted FY2026 capital budget appropriates $4.0 million to modernize the transfer station’s crane and packer waste processing system in Roxborough; the budget names the transfer station, not the convenience center.
The City’s 2026 hazardous waste event for the Northwest was held at 301 Domino Lane on June 13. The events still ahead in 2026 are at Southwest Philadelphia on October 10 and Port Richmond on November 7.
