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.

J & N Disposal is the local disposal site in Cheboygan where people from town and nearby rural areas drop household cleanouts and everyday trash. It's the kind of place neighbors use when a pickup bed or trailer needs emptying. Expect a small-town feel rather than a big commercial transfer station.
Drive up the short access road off North Western and you'll likely see an entrance booth and a pile area-many disposal sites have a booth and a scale, so be ready to slow down. Pull up to the attendant area first, then direct vehicles to the dump piles or containers; trailers and pickups are common here. The site looks like a working yard: dirt and gravel surfaces, piles of material, and scattered bins. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a bit of wait during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials in the driveway before leaving so unloading is quicker and safer-keep loose items contained with a tarp or straps.
- Bring bottles and cans separately if planning to return them for Michigan deposits; many people do that instead of leaving them at the disposal site.
- Expect to stop at a scale or booth and have payment ready-weekend mornings and spring cleanup season are the busiest times to avoid.
