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.

Town of Stafford Transfer Station at 80 Upper Rd in Union is the spot town residents use to drop off household trash and recyclables before it gets compacted and trucked out. Locals and nearby small businesses come here instead of driving to a distant landfill. It’s a small, practical facility - not a big regional center.
There’s an entrance booth where town permits are commonly checked and traffic is directed; lines can form there on busy days. After the booth the drive leads to tipping bays and a scale area, with large trucks and compactors visible around the site. The surface is mostly paved but can be dusty or muddy after rain, and expect the usual truck noise. Weekends, especially spring cleanup time, bring the longest waits.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a town permit or other proof of residency ready and handy when approaching the booth to keep things moving.
- Load the vehicle so items can be unloaded fast: flatten boxes, bundle loose material, and keep recyclables separated from trash.
- Try for a weekday or late-afternoon run to avoid weekend backups; bring straps or a tarp so nothing falls out on the drive in.
