Blackburn Construction and Demolition Landfill

Blackburn Construction and Demolition Landfill is the big dirt-and-gravel site on Rocky Ford Road where builders and homeowners drop construction debris in Newton. Locals bring everything from old lumber and drywall to demo piles; commercial haulers use it too since it’s set up for larger loads. The place is straightforward: a landfill specifically for C&D material, not a drop-off for household hazardous items or electronics without separate handling.

Drive in and you'll see a guarded entrance booth and a scale-this type of landfill charges tipping fees by weight, so everyone stops twice: once in and again out. The working area is expansive, with heavy equipment moving piles and a big bermed area where material gets pushed and buried; expect dusty roads and a smell of earth and diesel on busy days. Recycling or metal collection points are often near the entrance, with the tipping face and spread-out disposal areas farther down the haul road. Weekends, especially in spring or after storms, get noticeably busier and slower.
