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 →Dyersburg Landfill is the county landfill on Sorrell Chapel Road used by folks dropping off household trash, contractors with commercial loads, and anyone hauling a bigger pile than the local convenience center will take. It's the final pit where material gets buried, so expect a working, industrial-feeling place rather than a tidy transfer site.
There’s a scale at the entrance and trucks are weighed in and out, so plan for a short stop to get a tonnage read. A staffed kiosk or booth controls access and points drivers to the active dumping face; pull up when directed and follow the signs for commercial versus residential lanes. The property is large with earth ramps and heavy equipment moving around, so watch for loaders and compactors while backing into a dumping spot. Tipping fees are charged by weight with common tiering and minimums, and commercial loads are accepted, so commercial haulers often line up separately from single-vehicle drop-offs.
