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 →Seven Mile Creek Landfill is the county landfill just southeast of Eau Claire where households and businesses haul garbage for final burial. Locals and small haulers use it more than recycling centers, especially for big cleanouts or construction debris. Winters change how things run here, so expect procedures to shift when snow is on the ground.
A scale and an entrance booth are on site - vehicles usually stop to get weighed on the way in and again when leaving since fees are by weight. The property is large and mostly open, with active tipping faces and piles visible from the drive; trucks and trailers are common. Pull up to the booth for directions, then follow staff or cones to the tipping area; residential loads tend to be smaller, while commercial trucks are a regular sight. Snow or icy conditions can mean different traffic patterns or limited access in winter, so plan for slower movement.
