Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

A working landfill a few miles off US-43 that handles the usual household and larger loads from the area. Local residents, contractors, and haulers drop off here; it’s the place trash ends up being buried rather than recycled.
There’s a gate with an entrance booth and a scale you’ll cross coming in and out - tipping fees are charged by weight at landfills like this. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow signs or staff direction to the active cell where trucks and pickup loads are unloaded. The site is large and open with heavy equipment moving around, dirt/gravel roads, and piles of compacted material visible from the access road. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so expect a short wait at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps so debris doesn’t blow out on the access road or on the way to the drop-off area.
- Be prepared to stop at the scale twice - in and out - since fees are weight-based at most landfills.
- Try to avoid late mornings on Saturdays and spring-cleanup weekends if possible; arriving earlier in the day usually means a shorter line.
