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.
Read more →Geneva Landfill on Tuttle Road is the county-scale landfill where residential and commercial loads end up when hauling trash from around Geneva. Locals and contractors both use it - big trucks show up alongside pickup loads. The place looks like what it is: a working landfill, not a recycling center or drop-off boutique.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop; there’s a scale so vehicles are weighed, and trucks usually stop again leaving the site. The tipping area and burial cells are out on the hillside - expect to see compactors, dump trucks, and piles of cover material nearby. It’s spread out with gravel drives and marked routes for where to unload, so follow the flow of traffic rather than wandering into active spots. Weekends and spring cleanup times can back traffic up, and commercial rigs are a common sight, so give yourself extra time if bringing a large load.
