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.

A working landfill on the outskirts of Sibley that handles the final burial of municipal and commercial trash. Local farmers, contractors, and households with big cleanups use this place because it takes large loads other sites in the county won’t.
Drive up Shieldsboro Road to a guarded entrance with a scales house; trucks pull onto the scale to be weighed and will usually have to stop again after dumping. The site is large - rolling, compacted cells and dirt roads rather than paved compact lanes - so expect loose gravel and some mud if it’s been wet. Loads are driven to a tipping area and then driven back past the scale; traffic can back up during weekend cleanups or school breaks. There’s a clear separation between the tipping area and the public access road, so follow the directions at the booth and watch for heavy equipment moving around.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs; loose debris can blow out on the drive in and create extra cleanup.
- Plan for the scale stop twice - one weigh-in before dumping and one on the way out - and don’t block the scale if there’s a line behind.
- Use a pickup or trailer with easy tailgate access for faster tipping; large commercial trucks will take longer to maneuver and can slow the line.
