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.

Big trucks and pickups show up here; it’s not a small drop-off - the site handles large loads and regular commercial traffic. The access road and gate make it clear this is where things end up rather than a recycling center.
A weigh scale is visible as vehicles pull in - tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to stop and get weighed in and then again on the way out. There’s an entrance booth and a short drive to the working face and cover areas; trucks usually line up and follow attendants’ directions to the active cell. The place looks like a typical landfill: compacted mounds, heavy machinery moving material, and clear paths for big rigs. Weekends and spring cleanup times get noticeably busier, so lines and slow traffic are common then.
