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.

Sarpy County Landfill is the big burial site on S 156th for Springfield and surrounding areas, used by homeowners, farmers, and haulers who need a final stop for trash. It’s the kind of place where pickup trucks, trailers, and roll-offs line up when yards or barns get cleaned out.
There’s a weigh scale you drive over and you’ll likely stop at a small entrance booth before heading in. Large dirt cells and compacted piles are visible from the access road, and trucks pull up to a tipping area or into lanes to unload. Fees are commonly calculated by weight at county landfills and commercial loads are usually handled alongside residential traffic, so expect an organized, truck-friendly layout rather than a tidy recycling center.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads-wind can send debris everywhere when dumping from trailers.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; lines and wait times tend to spike then.
- Have the vehicle run and ready when stopping at the scale and booth to keep traffic moving and reduce delays for others.
