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.

Contractors with roll-offs and dump trucks use it as much as homeowners hauling old shingles or lumber. It’s a working, fairly large rural landfill set up for heavy truck traffic rather than a neat public drop-off.
Drive in to an entrance booth and then roll up onto a scale; fees are based on weight, so expect to be weighed in and weighed out. The yard is mostly gravel and dirt with big piles of C&D material and heavy equipment moving around, so keep an eye out while backing. Commercial trucks are common and the site layout accommodates larger rigs more than small pickups. Weekends and spring cleanup see the longest lines, while weekday mornings usually move quicker.
