Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

Lanchester Landfill in Narvon is the kind of place people bring full pickups, trailers, and business loads to get rid of things that can't go to curbside collection. It’s a working landfill - not a drop-off for a quick bag of household trash - and mostly used by residents clearing out junk and by small commercial haulers.
Expect to see a scalehouse or weigh station where trucks are weighed; landfills typically charge tipping fees based on weight or volume, and this is where that gets recorded. Pull up slowly and follow the queue of trucks - larger rigs will need more room to maneuver. The site looks industrial: compacted cover, rows of earth berms, and heavy equipment moving material; there’s usually a separate area for recyclables and a place to unload mixed loads before heading back to the scale.

Before You Go
- Bring secure straps or a tarp for loose loads - wind can scatter debris on the drive in and out.
- Arrive with an idea of how the load will be unloaded so the driver can position the vehicle quickly; tight turns and steep ramps can complicate things.
- If hauling commercial quantities, expect a different fee structure than residential loads and plan for the extra time it may take to get weighed and processed.
