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.

Town Landfill on Prospect Street is the municipal dump for Easton - the place where trash actually gets buried. Locals, landscapers and people cleaning out basements all use it when curbside pickup won’t do.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop; town landfills commonly have a scale, so vehicles are weighed for tipping fees and will usually stop twice. The site looks like a large open cell area with compacted piles and heavy equipment working the face; expect to be directed where to unload and then to drive back across the scale. Recycling separation rules in Massachusetts mean there’s often a set of recycling bins or a sorting area nearby, and weekends-especially spring-can get busy with a line of trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose loads; wind and travel can scatter yard waste or construction debris and landfills tend to enforce covered loads for safety.
- Have any separated recyclables or hazardous items sorted before driving in; Massachusetts facilities often require material separation, so separating things ahead saves time at the booth.
- Plan for a wait on weekends and during seasonal cleanups; arrive early if hauling a big trailer or commercial load so backing and unloading go smoother.
