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 →Cypress Acres Landfill is the Ocala landfill where household and contractor loads end up when they need to be buried. People from town bring pickup loads and contractors show up with big trucks; commercial haulers use places like this too. It sits out on NE 33rd Court and is the sort of site that handles large volumes and heavy equipment.
There’s usually a gate booth and a scale near the entrance, so plan to stop at least twice - once in and once out - because tipping fees are typically charged by weight. The property is large and mostly open: compacted mounds, haul roads, and bulldozers or compactors moving around are common sights. Pull up to the booth first and follow the traffic flow; expect dust and the occasional odor on dry or windy days. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, and operations can change during hurricane season.
