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.

Sabine Parish Landfill is the parish dump out on Sabine Landfill Rd just outside Zwolle, where locals and contractors drop off household trash, brush and construction debris. Expect pickups, pickups with trailers, and the occasional roll-off truck if doing a big job. It’s the place people from around the parish go when a pickup truck or trailer can’t handle it anymore.
The site is a large open area with dirt roads, piles of cover and working faces-typical landfill scale with room for big trucks. There’s an entrance booth and a scale setup for weighing loads; most folks end up stopping twice, once in and again on the way out since tipping fees are usually based on weight and can differ by material. Commercial haulers are handled, but larger rigs may be routed or staged differently than small pickups. Drive slowly, watch for heavy equipment, and follow the attendants’ directions about where to dump.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps; loose trash and lightweight debris tends to blow out and creates extra cleanup time.
- Weekends, and especially spring cleanup weekends, get backed up-if a quick run is needed, aim for a weekday morning when it’s calmer.
- Have an idea of what’s in the load and how it’s separated; commercial loads are treated differently from household loads, so being organized at the scale saves time.
