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

Dixie Landfill is the big county landfill just off Dixie Drive that local residents and small haulers use when curbside pickup won't do. It’s the kind of place where commercial trucks show up alongside pickup trucks with trailer loads. Expect a working landfill - not a tidy transfer station - where material is buried on site.
Drive up and there’s a scale house/booth to check in and weigh loads; tipping fees are assessed by weight so vehicles usually stop twice. The site is expansive with visible cells and cover areas, some heavy equipment moving around and clear traffic lanes for dumping. Pull up to the instructed drop-off area, unload where directed, and then return to the scale to get the exit weight. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before leaving home to prevent debris on the road and faster unloading at the site.
- Have a practical way to unload - bring sturdy gloves and tie-down tools; some spots require climbing down or shifting material by hand.
- Avoid peak times if possible: early weekday mornings are generally quicker than weekend afternoons when local cleanups pick up.
