Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

It’s the kind of place where people drop off household junk, construction debris, and commercial loads from nearby towns. Since it’s a regional landfill, expect it to handle bigger trucks and heavier loads than a small transfer station.
There’s a vehicle scale to stop on - tipping fees are charged by weight, so most people stop on the scale both entering and leaving. Pull up to the attendant booth area first, then follow the signs or traffic to the working face or drop-off pad where material is buried. The site is large and open, with dirt roads and earthworks; mud can be an issue after rain and trailers dumping loose loads can get messy. Weekends and spring cleanup tend to be busier, so there can be lines for the scale or dumping lanes.
