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 →Parklands Landfill Inc is the landfill off US-206 in Bordentown that locals and commercial haulers use when trash has to be buried rather than recycled. The place handles heavy truck traffic and the larger loads that smaller transfer stations won't take. Expect a working, industrial site rather than a tidy public drop-off.
There’s an entrance/checkout booth and a scale - vehicles usually stop on the way in and again on the way out because tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs or attendants (if present) to the unloading area; commercial trucks are common and lanes are arranged to handle them. The site looks like a big open pit with compacted layers and heavy equipment moving around; odors, dust, and noise are normal. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and lines of trucks are often visible from the road.
