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.

Small-town landfill on the edge of Rockland that handles the final burial of household and larger loads. Used by residents and contractors who need a place to drop off non-recyclable material, it’s the kind of place trucks and pickup loads frequent throughout the week.
Drive up the access road to a clearly visible entrance booth and be prepared to stop at the scale - tipping fees are charged by weight so there’s a weigh-in before and after. The site itself is large and mostly open, with compacted working faces and haul roads; expect to follow attendants’ directions for where to tip. Recycling and drop-off points are usually separate from the burial area and located closer to the entrance. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so lines for the scale and tip areas form at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Load trucks and secure loose trash before getting to the scale to avoid delays and litter in the yard.
- Keep mixed recycling separate from trash at the curb-Massachusetts rules mean many items must be separated and some things won’t be accepted at the landfill.
- Bring documentation for commercial loads, higher-volume hauls, or large-item drops since larger deliveries are treated differently than regular household trips.
