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 →Baker Landfill is the county landfill out on Charlie Day Road, used by local homeowners, landscapers, and commercial haulers dropping off refuse for burial. Neighbors and small businesses both visit here when curbside pickup won’t handle the load. It’s a working landfill-big, dusty, and busy at times.
Drive up the access road to a small entrance booth and a scale where trucks are weighed and tipping fees are calculated; expect to stop there on the way in and again on the way out. The site is broadly open with berms and working faces of compacted trash, so follow the signs and directions at the booth for where to unload. Like many Florida facilities, there are often separate piles or areas for green/yard debris and extra activity after storms when hurricane debris is being handled. Weekends and holiday cleanup times can have lines, so be prepared for slower traffic through the gate.
