Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

Kings Mt Road Dump is the local dump on the edge of Martinsville that people from the area use for household cleanouts and yard debris. It’s the kind of place neighbors bring pickup loads, old furniture, and yard bags rather than making a special trip into a bigger regional facility. The site is at 310 Jack Dalton Rd, so it’s easy to find off the main roads out of town.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a few traffic lanes; larger trucks and pickups pull forward to unload. There’s usually a scale nearby and a short line can form on weekends, especially during spring cleanup. Recycling bins and drop-off points tend to be grouped to one side, and the working area is mostly open piles and roll-off containers. Expect a working, no-frills yard - gravel drives, compacted dirt, and the occasional tractor or loader moving material around.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go early on a weekday if possible; weekend afternoons get the heaviest traffic and longer waits.
- Cover and secure loose loads so nothing blows out while driving in or waiting in line.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables at the truck so unloading goes quicker once at the drop-off area.
