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.

Small-town landfill on the east side of Taylorsville that handles household and commercial loads. Locals and haulers use it for final disposal; it’s the place where things actually get buried rather than processed elsewhere.
There’s a weigh scale you’ll cross when coming in and again on the way out - tipping fees are charged by weight, so plan for that stop. A gate/booth sits near the entrance where vehicles queue up before being directed to the active cell to dump. The site is mostly open dirt and compacted berms of cover material; hauling trucks and pick-up loads pull up to the edge of the cell to tip. Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanups, and commercial trucks are commonly seen making regular runs there.

Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs; loose debris can mean extra stops to clean up before entering the tipping area.
- Sort recyclables and anything reusable at home so the trip to the landfill is just a single drop-off at the active cell.
- Have an idea of weight and vehicle type so the scale traffic moves faster - larger commercial loads will follow different routing than small pickups.
