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.

Crittenden County Landfill is the county landfill out on Kuhn Road in Marion, used by local residents hauling household junk and by trucks with bigger loads. It’s the place trash ends up being buried rather than dropped off for recycling or transfer. Folks from around the rural parts of Crittenden County and some small businesses bring loads here.
Drive up the long driveway to a scale house where trucks normally stop to be weighed-landfills usually charge tipping fees either by weight or by load, so expect a weighing step. There’s a simple entrance booth and a wide working area with compacted dirt and gravel; trucks and trailers back up to uncovered pits or cells to dump. The recycling containers and convenience centers for smaller drop-offs are usually separate from the active landfill face, and weekends or spring cleanups can get busy enough to see a line. Watch for larger commercial vehicles maneuvering; space is open but requires patience when backing or turning.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring an easy-to-handle tarp or straps so small items don’t blow out of a pickup on the drive in; that keeps the road clean and staff from having to chase debris.
- Have loads sorted before getting to the scale so bulky items don’t hold up the line-separate mattresses, scrap metal, and loose trash if possible.
- If hauling a trailer, make sure it’s properly hitched and lights are working; tight turns and backing are common and inspectors may ask for secured loads.
