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

Pacific Disposal is the local disposal site in Lacey where residents bring household and yard loads. Neighbors swing by with trailers, truck beds, or carloads when clearing out the garage or doing yard work. It’s the place most people in the area use for dropping off mixed trash and bulk items.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and the scale ramp is right there - the site charges by weight so expect to cross the scale twice. The drop-off areas are large piles and bins, with heavier material set off to one side and lighter stuff on the other; trucks and trailers can maneuver around but take it slow. Recycling and yard debris usually need to be separated, so look for labeled containers or areas for those loads. Weekends, especially spring and early summer, get busy and there can be a line to get through the gate.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring straps or a tarp to secure loads - wind and bumps can throw loose stuff into the road and the site requires covered loads.
- Have items roughly sorted before pulling into the lane: one pile for general trash, another for yard debris, and recyclables separate if possible.
- Plan for extra time on weekend mornings; idling vehicles line up at the scale and backing into drop spots can take longer than expected.
