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.

Cumberland County Landfill is the county landfill just outside Newburg, used by local residents and trucks hauling municipal and business trash. It's the final burial site for solid waste, so expect big trucks mixed in with pickup loads. People from around the area use it for drop-offs that are too large for curbside pickup.
Drive up the access road and you'll see a small entrance booth and a scale - this type of facility charges by weight, so most vehicles stop twice, once in and once out. Traffic can be a mix of roll-offs, dump trucks, and cars; larger commercial rigs are common alongside residential pickups. The tipping face and working area are large and bare - dirt, compacted trash, heavy equipment moving loads, and unpaved spots are normal. Recycling or drop-off containers, if present, are usually off to one side past the booth, while the main landfill slope is visible from the approach.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a map or directions for the specific entrance; the property sits on Newville Road and has a noticeable gravel/drive approach rather than a storefront driveway.
- Expect to be weighed on a scale; leave enough time for a stop in the booth and a second stop on exit, especially on busy weekend or spring-cleanup days.
- Secure any loose load covers and be prepared for dusty or muddy conditions in wet weather; larger commercial trucks and heavy equipment mean the ground can get rough.
