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 →Laurel Ridge Landfill is the county landfill just off E State Hwy 552 in Lily, used by local homeowners, haulers and commercial trucks hauling loads to be buried. It’s the final place for trash - not a transfer station or recycling center - so most people there are dropping off full loads for disposal.
Pull in off State Hwy 552 to an entrance with a small booth and a clear drive toward the tip area and working face. There’s a scale on site and tipping fees are handled by weight, which means a stop on the way in and often another stop when leaving. The facility is large enough for roll-offs and tractor-trailers, so expect to share the yard with commercial trucks as well as pickups and trailers. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup season, and the site looks like a typical landfill - compacted cover, heavy equipment, and muddy spots after rain.
