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 →Dumas Landfill is the city landfill on S Maddox Ave, used by local residents and commercial haulers who need to get rid of large amounts of trash. It’s the kind of place people go when pickup won’t cut it and trucks or trailers are loaded down for the last stop.
There’s a scale at the entrance so loads are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight or load type; expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. The site is large and open - long drive lanes, dirt and gravel surfaces, and the tipping face where material gets buried. Pull up to the entrance booth/scale area first, then follow staff directions for where to unload; commercial trucks are commonly seen there alongside residential pickups. Lines can form, especially on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, so plan for some wait time.
