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.
Read more →GFL West Bend is the community waste drop-off site on N River Road in West Bend, used by homeowners, landscapers and small haulers for getting rid of household junk and yard cleanup leftovers. It looks like an industrial lot rather than a tidy transfer station, so expect big containers and truck traffic rather than a neat retail-style setup.
There’s a scale and a booth near the entrance where vehicles stop before being directed into the yard; they charge by weight, so plan for a couple of stops. Pull up slowly - the entrance area can be tight with trucks and trailers moving around. The site is mostly open pavement and industrial bins, with heavy equipment operating, so keep clear of active work areas and follow the traffic flow. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, and maneuvering a trailer around other vehicles can take a bit of patience.
