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 →Cataula Inert Landfill LLC is a large-scale landfill on 285 Acres of Shade Dr in Cataula, used by both local residents and commercial haulers. It’s the kind of place where loads are buried rather than processed, so expect a working quarry/industrial look rather than neat recycling bays. People drop off construction debris and other inert materials here, and trucks are a common sight.
Drive up to an entrance booth and prepare to stop for directions; there’s usually a scale nearby since tipping fees at sites this size are typically charged by weight or volume. After the booth, traffic lanes lead to different dumping areas and the working face of the landfill; large trucks and heavy equipment operate close to the drop points. The property feels expansive - long dirt or gravel drives, berms, and piles of material visible from the road. Weekends and spring cleanup times often mean longer lines, especially with commercial traffic mixed in.
