Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Small county-style landfill just off Hog Jaw Road, used by folks hauling household trash, contractors, and farm-type loads. Trucks and pickups from the Arab area and surrounding parts of Marshall County show up here on weekdays and Saturdays. It's the place where trash actually gets buried, not a recycling drop-off or transfer station.
Drive in past a single entrance booth and you'll see a scale where vehicles stop to be weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, so there's a weigh-in and weigh-out process. The site is open dirt and compacted areas with working faces of piled material; expect to pull up, empty, and then head back across the scale. Commercial loads are accepted alongside residential vehicles, so there can be a steady stream of larger trucks during busier times. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are usually off to one side rather than mixed in with the burial area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose loads; windy days spread debris and staff will ask that loads be secured before entering.
- Plan for extra time on weekends and spring cleanup days - lines form at the entrance booth and the weigh scale can slow things down.
- Have a backup route in mind for large trucks; the approach road is rural and can be tight for long trailers after rain or during heavy traffic.
