After 21 years of operation, the River Road Wood & Masonry Landfill shutdown for good at the end of October 2005. The landfill began operation in 1984 and the Town of Brunswick has used the leased site to bury wood and masonry debris brought to the site by local businesses and residents. The inert landfill site will be covered and capped in Spring 2006 in accordance with Maine DEP regulations. All lumber, wood furniture, brush, trees and masonry waste is now accepted at the Graham Road Landfill during regular hours. |

The brush, waste wood and masonry will need to be separately unloaded in the new laydown area after first weighing in at the scalehouse. Pressure-treated wood must still be disposed of in the secure landfill so please be sure to separate PT wood from other lumber. If you bring multiple type items (for example trash, metal, wood waste and brush) expect to make multiple trips across the scale as each material will need to be weighed separately so please be sure to load your vehicle appropriately to allow unloading of each material independently.
An area has been set aside at the wood laydown area to create a clean lumber "swap shop". Landfill users are encouraged to put surplus lumber and used wood in good condition in the swap shop area for reuse by others. Wood in this area will be free for the taking.
