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

Seminole County Landfill in Geneva is the county dump where household and larger loads end up for burial. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers all use it - the place is built for big, heavy trucks as much as pickup loads.
Drive up to a guarded entrance with a weigh scale nearby; vehicles are typically weighed in and weighed out so charges are assessed by weight. Pull up to the scales and follow the flow toward the unloading areas; large compacted cells and mounded trash are visible from the access roads. There’s a clear booth/office at the front where transactions are handled, and separate spots for recyclables or yard debris are common a little past the entry. Weekends and seasonal cleanups (and post-storm periods) get backed up, so lines can form at the gate and on the approach road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads tarped and secure before getting on site - loose debris often isn’t allowed to leave the truck en route and tarps get checked.
- Expect to stop on the scale twice: once in and once out; plan for the extra minute or two when timing a run.
- Avoid midday Saturdays and the days after major storms if possible; peak congestion happens then and trucks can queue at the entrance.
