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 →Wolf Creek Landfill, out on 911 Landfill Road in Dry Branch, is where trash gets buried - the final stop for household and larger loads. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers use it when they need to get rid of bulky junk or construction debris. This is a true landfill: made for long-term disposal rather than drop-off recycling only.
Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; most landfills have a scale and vehicles are often weighed coming in and out. Tipping fees are common at places like this, usually assessed by weight or per load, and commercial haulers typically use these sites. The yard itself is large and dusty, with dirt drives, heavy equipment and piles of compacted material - trailers need room to back up. If recycling or special-material containers are available they tend to sit off to the side past the booth, so separate anything you can before getting there.
