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 →Greer Transfer Station is the local transfer station on Gilliam Road where household and small-scale loads get compacted and sent off to a landfill elsewhere. Neighbors bring curbside overflow, construction scraps, and yard cleanups here because it’s closer than driving out to a distant landfill. It’s the kind of place people visit when a pickup bed or trailer is full and needs a quick drop-off.
The entrance has a small booth and a gated drive; pull up to speak or wait your turn before going to the drop-off area. The site is industrial - concrete bays, large compactors and trucks coming and going - so expect some noise and diesel smell. Vehicles are usually directed to specific bays or ramps where material is dumped into a hopper and compacted into trailers. Lines build on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short wait to get to a bay.
