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 county landfill just off Fairground Road in Bagley, used by local homeowners, farms and commercial haulers alike. It’s the place where trash ends up being buried rather than recycled or composted. Plenty of folks from Clearwater County bring household cleanouts, construction debris and commercial loads here.
A weigh scale is usually near the entrance and loads are typically charged by weight or volume, so plan for at least two stops - in and out - if hauling a trailer. There’s an attendant booth near the drive-in; pull up to it first to let staff know if bringing a commercial load. The property looks like a working landfill: dirt roads, compacted waste faces, and large open dumping areas rather than neat curbside bins. Winters in Minnesota matter here - hours can change and surfaces get icy or muddy, so dress and drive accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose materials and secure tarps so wind doesn’t blow debris on the roadway or around the site.
- Bring a vehicle and trailer setup that can back up easily to a drop edge; some spots require a reverse maneuver to unload.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible - those times often have the longest lines and delays.
