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.

People from Grand Island and surrounding farms bring trailers and pickup loads here for drop-off. It’s the kind of place used for routine cleanouts, construction scraps, and the odd big load that won’t fit in curbside cans.
Pull up to an entrance booth where attendants typically direct traffic; larger trucks and trailers are routed to a separate lane. There’s usually a scale on the way in or out so loads are weighed and recorded, so plan for a brief stop. The site itself is a working lot with piles of refuse, compactors or open cells, and clear vehicle paths - not a tidy recycling center. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so expect lines and slower unloading then.
