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 →Lone Wolf Disposal at 9477 Co Rd 45 in Howard is the small-town disposal site locals use for household cleanouts and contractor drop-offs. Expect pickups, trailers, and the occasional box truck-this is a working, no-frills place that people in the area go to when they need to get rid of stuff.
Drive up to a booth/scale area near the entrance where vehicles line up; many rural disposal sites charge by weight so be prepared to stop again on the way out. The yard is mostly gravel and packed dirt, so it gets dusty in summer and messy after rain - traction and ground clearance matter. Large bins, piles, or roll-offs are visible from the approach and traffic is directed with simple signs or cones rather than pavement markings. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can back up traffic, so expect a short wait when those peaks hit.
