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.

Lakeview Road Landfill, Inc. is the big burial site out on Lakeview Road that both homeowners and haulers use when trash needs to go deep. Located in Charlotte, it’s the kind of place trucks, trailers and roll-offs line up for; residential and commercial loads are accepted here.
Drive up to an entrance booth and get ready for a scale stop since tipping is handled by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The site is expansive - dirt roads, piled cells and the working face where loads are tipped - so follow the traffic flow and the attendants’ directions. Expect to pull up, wait for instructions, then drive to the active tipping area; larger commercial trucks will be routed differently than single-axle pickups. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup days often have the longest lines, so plan for a bit of downtime during those peak periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items before leaving home; debris blowing out on the approach road can get vehicles dirty and draw attention from staff.
- Have the load organized so heavy, liquid, or hazardous-looking materials are separated - it speeds the unloading process and avoids extra inspection delays.
- If hauling commercially, use proper paperwork and know that commercial loads are handled differently than residential drop-offs; expect different routing and possibly different fees based on weight.
