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 →Boundary County Landfill is the county’s final dumping ground just outside Bonners Ferry, used by local residents, pickup truck haulers, and commercial trucks hauling larger loads. It’s the kind of place people bring bulk trash, yard debris, and construction waste when the curbside option won’t do.
There’s a scale and a small entrance booth where vehicles line up before heading to the tipping area; expect to stop on the scale and again after dumping if they charge by weight. The site is large and mostly open, with heavy equipment, dirt berms, and the active tipping face visible from the drop-off. Commercial trucks are common here and the facility handles larger loads, so give bigger rigs plenty of space when pulling in or out. Tipping fees are charged rather than flat pickup-style pricing, often calculated by weight with a residential minimum, so loads are weighed at the scale.
