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.
Read more →Walker Mountain Landfill is the local burial site for municipal and construction debris just off Walker Mountain Road in Rome, Georgia. Neighbors, contractors and haulers who need a final disposal spot for large loads come here rather than to smaller convenience centers. It’s a true landfill - where material is spread, compacted and buried rather than recycled on site.
Expect a large, open site with dirt roads, berms and visible cells or mounds where material has been placed - not an indoor drop-off. Entry usually involves a staffed entrance area and some kind of weigh/ticket process, since landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight or vehicle type. After checking in, drivers are typically directed to a specific cell or working face to unload, then exit past the scale or booth to settle fees. During busy times the line of trucks can stretch out, so plan for a short wait.
