Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Local homeowners with bulky cleanups and commercial haulers both use this site for final disposal. The property sits out on Campbrooklyn Road and looks like a typical county dump rather than a recycling center or transfer station.
Drive in past an entrance booth and be prepared to pull onto a scale; landfills of this type commonly charge tipping fees based on weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The working face and cover areas are visible from the arrival road, with compacted trash piles and heavy equipment moving around. Small drop-off lanes and a staging area for larger commercial loads are usually present, so follow the flow of traffic and any onsite signage. Weekends and spring cleanup seasons often mean longer lines and slower unloading.
