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.
Read more →Prairie Bluff RDF is the local waste disposal site out on Highway 15 north of Houston, used mostly by households and small haulers from the surrounding county. Folks bring everything from yard debris to full pickup loads when doing property cleanups. It’s the kind of place neighbors drop by when the curb pile gets too big.
Pull off Highway 15 into a gravel drive and look for an entrance booth and a scale near the front - many regional facilities in Mississippi operate that way, so expect to stop twice if charges are by weight. The yard itself is open and fairly spread out with piles and skips visible from the drive; larger trucks need room to maneuver, so there’s a fair amount of backing up and circling. Recycling or drop-off bins are commonly placed to one side past the entrance, while bulk piles sit further back. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so traffic can pile up onto the approach road.
