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.

Neighbors and contractors use it alike, so expect an industrial site with earthworks, heavy machines, and open tipping faces. It’s the kind of place people go when they’ve got a pickup load or a contractor truck full of debris.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale; tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight or by vehicle class, so plan for a weigh-in. Pull up to the booth and then follow the posted routing to the drop-off area - the ground is usually gravel or compacted dirt and looks more like a works yard than a tidy recycling center. Large piles and heavy equipment are common sights, and recycling or separation areas (if present) tend to be off to one side. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills, but they’re usually handled and billed differently than single residential trips.
