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 →Earthmovers Landfill is the big county landfill out on County Road 26 that locals and contractors use when home cleanup, construction or commercial hauls need a final drop-off. People bringing everything from a pickup load of old junk to bigger commercial loads show up here; it’s the place trash ends up being buried long-term.
Drive in and there’s a scale booth early in the approach-loads are weighed so expect to stop twice, once in and once out. A small office or booth handles the check-in; after that, vehicles are directed to the working face where material is tipped and covered. The whole site is large, mostly gravel and compacted dirt, with mounds of soil and compactors in the distance, so it can be dusty and muddy depending on weather. Lines get longer on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for some wait time.
