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.

Lott Road Landfill is the county landfill out on Lott Road in Eight Mile, used by residents and haulers who need a final-destination site for household and commercial trash. Trucks and pickup loads both show up here; it’s not a small drop-off - think a working landfill rather than a tidy transfer station.
There’s a drive-in scale and a small entrance booth where incoming vehicles stop to be weighed and logged, so expect to pull forward slowly. After the booth, traffic is directed toward active cells where loads are tipped; visual is mostly compactors, dirt berms and piles. The site charges tipping fees based on weight or load type rather than by item, which means you’ll be weighed both entering and exiting. Landfills this size commonly accept commercial loads as well as residential ones, so larger trucks are a regular sight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose loads - wind can scatter debris on the drive into and out of the site.
- Have the load organized before getting to the tip face so dumping is quick; trucks often queue during busy weekends or seasonal cleanups.
- Expect to stop at the scale twice (in and out) and leave enough time in case there’s a short wait at the entrance booth.
