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.

Locals and haulers both use it - expect big trucks and a steady stream of pickups and roll-offs most weekdays. It sits like a working industrial site, not a tidy transfer station, so plan for dusty drives and heavy equipment moving around.
Drive in and stop at an entrance booth where attendants will direct traffic; the site operates like a true landfill rather than a drop-off center. There’s a scale, so vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are assessed by weight or load class, with different rates for residential versus commercial loads. After weighing, follow signs or staff directions to the active dumping cell or instructed drop point, then return to the scale to complete the run. The yard is large, with compactors and earth-moving equipment visible, and traffic can get slow when big commercial trucks are queuing.
