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

A local disposal site just off North Long Street in E. Spencer that Salisbury-area folks use when clearing out homes or hauling yard debris. Neighbors drop off household trash, bulk items and regular community loads here rather than driving to the county transfer station.
Drive up the main lane and stop at an entrance booth and scale area - these places usually charge by weight, so expect to pause twice: once in and again on the way out. The site is open-air with large roll-off containers and concrete tipping areas; trucks and pickups share the same lanes so watch for backing vehicles. Recycling and drop-off spots tend to be grouped to one side, and signs mark where different types of loads go. Weekends get busier, especially in spring cleanup season, so lines at the booth can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads roughly sorted before pulling in - loose mixed piles slow everything down and sometimes require extra handling.
- Bring gloves, a tarp and straps; loose debris blows around and tarps help keep the truck bed contained while waiting in line.
- Avoid the busiest times if possible: weekend mornings and spring cleanup weeks are when backups are most likely.
