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.
Read more →Troy Landfill is the town landfill on Hudson Street, used by local residents and commercial haulers who need a place to bury trash. It’s the sort of large county-style dump at the edge of town where loads are weighed and buried on-site. The site handles final disposal rather than recycling or transfer.
Expect a drive-in with a scale near the entrance and a small check/entry booth - vehicles stop to be weighed and then usually pull through to the tipping area. The working area is open and industrial: dirt roads, piles of compacted trash and heavy equipment moving around, so give large trucks plenty of room. Tipping fees are set by weight and commercial loads are typically handled, so larger trucks and trailers are common on site. Weekend visits can be slower, especially during yard-cleanup season, and the recycling or drop-off bins (if present) are usually off to the side of the main tipping area.
