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.

Chadwick Road Landfill is the big burial site on the edge of Roswell where household and larger loads end up. Neighbors, contractors and haulers use it - it’s the final stop for material that can’t be dropped at smaller centers. The place looks like a proper landfill rather than a transfer station: wide drive lanes, heavy equipment visible, and long, open cells for dumping.
Expect to cross a scale when you come in - tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles stop on the scale both ways. There’s an entrance booth area and lanes to pull forward; trucks and trailers move slower, so take your time lining up. The site is expansive with compactors and dozers working; loads are directed to active tipping areas rather than a simple drop-off pile. On busy weekends the line to get in can back up, especially during seasonal cleanups.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose materials before leaving home - it helps keep the process moving and prevents debris loss while driving.
- Drive carefully and watch for heavy equipment; give compactors and loaders plenty of space when reversing or moving.
- Bring a clear plan for unloading: have someone spot if the trailer needs backing up and separate mixed loads so tipping goes faster.
