Oneida County Land Fill

Demolition Man
What is it about guys? Ah the age old question which has and will always continue to stump women…

While guys generally enjoy building stuff, the construction drive is nothing compared to the testosterone rush induced by knocking something down. Yup, give most guys some goggles, leather gloves, a sawz-all, sledge hammer and a dilapidated structure AND CLEAR THE AREA, CAUSE THIS BABY’S COMIN’ DOWN! For some lucky folks this may even include the use of heavy equipment. Of course this also can be a driving force for the insurance industry, as our spouses will tend to double that term life policy just before such a project begins.

But once the fun part is done and the structure is in a pile, what do you do? One option is to simply bring it out to the transfer station and pay $54 per ton to landfill it in a lined, sanitary landfill. Another option you have in Oneida County is to ensure the materials are properly sorted and dispose of them in our demolition landfill for only $32 per ton.

The demolition landfill is an unlined landfill, so only certain items are accepted in it, including: wood, drywall, windows, asphalt roofing, tar paper, non-asbestos siding, bricks, asphalt, concrete and other masonry. For whole structures being torn down, insulation and wiring can be left in the walls and ceilings. ONLY THESE MATERIALS ARE ALLOWED IN THE DEMOLITION LANDFILL.

Properly sorted demolition materials present much less of a threat to groundwater compared to “regular garbage”. Anything not on the list, such as shingle wrappers, fast food bags, caulk tubes or carpeting must go to the transfer station or scrap metal pile for iron, sheet metal and other metal items.

Prior to using the demolition landfill, customers must sign a demolition agreement. This agreement basically says “I will only put wood, drywall, windows, asphalt roofing, tar paper, siding, bricks, concrete and other masonry products in the demolition site or Bart can do bad things to me”. Which can mean doing the thing that guys hate most… cleaning up after ourselves!
