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 →Mar-Oco Landfill on N7785 Shaffer Rd is the spot outside Crivitz where self-haul trash ends up when it needs to be buried. Locals use it for household cleanouts and bigger loads that won’t go to the curb. It looks and functions like a typical county landfill - large dirt cells, heavy equipment, and an entrance booth/scale area.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale; vehicles are usually weighed in and out and tipping fees are based on weight or by load, so expect to stop twice. After the booth, pull where directed - trucks and trailers head to the active dumping area and smaller loads go to side drops. The site is rough ground with packed dirt, big piles of compacted trash, and heavy machinery moving around, so take it slow. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so patience helps.
