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.

Daviess County Convenience Center is a small drop-off site on KY-144 in Philpot that locals use for routine household trash, recyclables and yard debris. It feels like a neighborhood stop rather than a big transfer station, with a booth at the entrance and a few roll-off containers. Expect quick in-and-out visits from nearby residents rather than long-haul haulers.
Drive off KY-144 into a modest lot with a booth near the entrance and a row of containers ahead. Pull up toward the booth area first, then move to the appropriate container for trash, recycling or yard waste; recycling bins are often off to one side. The site is smaller in scale than a landfill, so plan to unload and sort on your own if needed. Weekends and spring cleanup times can cause lines, so patience helps on busy days.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home so unloading goes faster and other drivers don’t have to wait.
- Bring gloves, heavy-duty bags and a tarp for loose or dirty loads; this site requires handling most lifting and sorting personally.
- Avoid peak times when possible - weekends and spring cleanup days tend to back up the entrance.
