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

Republic Services Tower Landfill on Tower Road is a large, industrial-scale landfill used by local haulers, contractors and residents with big loads. This is a final burial site where trash gets buried rather than a transfer station. Landfills of this size typically charge tipping fees by weight and accept commercial loads.
Expect a scale and an entrance booth area when driving in-stops at the weigh scale on the way in and out are common because charges are by weight. The site looks like big compacted dirt mounds with heavy equipment moving around and roll-off trucks coming and going. Pull into lanes in a single file, have the truck bed arranged so dumping is quick, and watch for loose debris on the access roads. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for possible waits.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before leaving home; loose debris tends to scatter on Tower Road and makes unloading slower and messier.
- Keep the load organized so the stuff to be dumped first is accessible - that speeds the whole stop since there’s usually a weigh-in and then a tip-off.
- Bring gloves, a pry bar or shovel for stubborn items, and an extra set of straps or tie-downs; those little tools shave time during unloading and cleanup.
