Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

Small county landfill just outside Richland Center that locals and contractors use to dispose of household trash and larger loads. It’s the kind of place people stop at when regular pickup won’t do or when clearing out a shed. Expect a working, no-frills outdoor site on County Highway AA.
Drive in toward an entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale so loads can be weighed; tipping fees are handled based on weight or load size, as is common at landfills. There’s a visible disposal area with compacted trash mounds and active equipment working the face; commercial trucks can usually be accommodated alongside residential vehicles. Lines form on busy weekends and during spring cleanups, and winter conditions often slow traffic and change how attendants direct vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pull up slowly to the entrance booth and have your load ready to describe; the scale will usually require you to stop twice (in and out).
- Bring something to cover loose debris in windy weather-snow and mud in winter make tarps and secure loads a lot more important.
- Expect some waiting during weekend and seasonal peak times; try a weekday morning if hauling a big load and faster turnaround matters.
