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

Mostly visited by residents hauling household recyclables and small loads from yard cleanups. It sits on Landfill Road, so expect the look and layout of a working transfer/recycling site rather than a storefront.
Drive up to a staffed entrance area and slow down - there’s often a booth and a scale for larger loads, so vehicles pull in, check in, then move on to the drop-off spots. The site is spread out with big roll-off containers and open trailers; paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metals are handled at most county recycling centers, and electronics or special collections are commonly run as separate programs. Parking and pull-through lanes are wide enough for pickup trucks and small trailers, but weekends and spring cleanup days get busy and slow. Signage and arrows point to the different collection points, and folks usually sort items into boxes or bags before getting to the bins.
