Where Dayton-area debris goes

The box leaves your driveway and goes to a transfer station or a licensed debris landfill. What goes in it decides which one, and that changes the price.

Construction and demolition debris

Public Health Dayton & Montgomery County defines construction and demolition debris as waste from building or tearing down buildings: lumber, plaster, brick and roofing shingles, for example. It does not include hazardous waste, asbestos, furniture, appliances, or ordinary trash and garbage. This debris must go to a facility licensed and inspected by Public Health or the Ohio EPA. Clean hard fill (concrete, asphalt, brick, block, tile and stone with nothing else mixed in) does not need a licensed facility.

The county transfer station in Moraine

The Montgomery County Solid Waste District runs the South Transfer Station in Moraine, phone 937-225-4999. Public Health sends residents there for household hazardous waste and appliances. The street address is not confirmed yet: the Public Health page and a waste-industry directory give two different streets, so call first.

The per-ton charge is also not confirmed yet. A city page and a newspaper report give different figures, so we print neither.

What this means for your quote

Many companies price a box by weight or by debris type, because a ton of shingles and a ton of clean concrete do not go to the same gate. Say what is going in when you ask for a price. Mixed loads are often charged at the stricter rate.
