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 →Suwannee County Landfill in Live Oak is the county landfill where household and commercial trash ends up for burial. Locals, landscapers and haulers use this spot when pickup won’t do or for bigger loads, especially during yard cleanup or storm season.
There’s a gated entrance with an attendant booth and a scale-drivers usually stop on the way in and again on the way out since charges are by weight. Pull up to the booth first to get directions, then follow the haul roads to the active tipping area and the separate yard-waste section that many Florida sites keep apart from the main cells. The site is mostly open, with large soil-and-trash mounds, heavy equipment like compactors and dozers working around the clock, and marked lanes for different types of loads. Expect traffic to build on weekends and right after storms when hurricane debris drops are common.
