Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

A straightforward neighborhood dump in northeast Charlotte, used by homeowners and small contractors dropping off everyday debris. The place sits in a commercial park off Brixham Hill Avenue and handles local disposal needs rather than large-scale industrial hauling.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale - many local dumps weigh vehicles and charge by weight, so the truck will likely be weighed on the way in or out. The site is a collection of roll-off containers and concrete drop pads, with room to maneuver a pickup or small trailer but not for very large trucks. Weekends, especially on warm spring days, can get busy and lines form; weekdays are usually quieter. Keep separate anything that looks like electronics or hazardous material, since North Carolina has specific rules for those items and they may need to be handled elsewhere.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps so debris doesn't fall out while driving; loose piles slow things down for everyone.
- Bring a clear plan for where each load will go - concrete, yard debris, and bulky items often have separate containers - so unloading is faster.
- Expect traffic on weekend mornings; if possible, aim for a weekday or later afternoon to avoid the biggest backups.
