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.

It’s the actual burial landfill for garbage in the county, so expect a larger, industrial property rather than a drop-off center. Local haulers and residents both bring loads here; landfills of this kind typically handle commercial deliveries as well as household trash.
There’s a scale house near the entrance where trucks stop to be weighed, and tipping fees are assessed by weight rather than by item. Drive slowly through the gate, follow the gravel or paved road to the working face, and wait your turn if others are backing up - big trucks move slower and take priority. The site is large and mostly open, with areas piled high where incoming loads are spread and buried, so visibility can be dusty on windy days.
