Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the road; tipping fees are typically charged by weight, so expect to be weighed and charged accordingly when leaving. The site is big - long lanes, piles of compacted material and heavy equipment working the cells - so give extra room for big trucks. Commercial loads are common and usually handled differently from small residential drops, with separate pricing structures for larger or business hauls. Lines get longer on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for some waiting if it’s busy.
