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.

Local homeowners, landscapers, and small haulers use it when regular curb pickup won't do or for larger cleanups. Expect a practical, working-site feel rather than anything tidy or pretty.
A scale box is set before the tipping area, so vehicles usually stop there to be weighed and then pull forward to unload; tipping fees are calculated by weight rather than by load type. The site is large and mostly open, with rows of compacted material and heavy equipment visible; look for a small entrance booth and then a wide drive where trucks line up to back into the cells. Weather matters here-heavy rain or snow can make access slower and muddier because of the valley roads that feed into Colliers. Weekends and spring cleanup weekends tend to be busier, so expect a short wait if arriving during those times.
