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.

Payson City Landfill is the municipal dump just off 10400 S in Payson, used by residents and commercial haulers from around the area. It’s the place where trash gets buried-big open cells and heavy equipment, not a recycling center or transfer station vibe. The site handles both household and commercial loads and charges tipping fees based on weight at a scale.
Pull up to an entrance booth/scale area and be prepared to stop and be weighed-they charge by weight so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The yard is large with dirt ramps and compacted areas; expect dusty conditions, especially in dry months. Trucks and trailers unload at the working face or roll-off zones and heavy equipment will be pushing and covering material nearby. Lines form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a short wait to get to the tipping area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie-downs so loose debris doesn’t blow off on the drive; dusty winds are common in the Utah climate.
- If hauling in a trailer, have it arranged so the load can be dumped quickly; practice how it will be emptied before getting to the pit.
- Aim for non-peak times if possible-weekend and spring-cleanup traffic tends to back up the entrance and scale lane.
