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 →Southeast Waste Disposal is the local disposal site on Bivins Drive that people from Ozark and the surrounding area use to get rid of household trash and yard debris. Neighbors bring pickup loads, small trailers, and the kind of stuff that doesn’t fit in a curbside bin. This is a basic, working site - not a retail place - used by everyday residents.
Drive in and you'll see a simple entrance area with lanes to pull up; most small county disposal sites have an attendant booth or drop-off point to check vehicles. Vehicles are usually directed to open yard areas or drop-off pits where you unload by type, and there can be piles or containers for different materials spread across the site. Traffic backs up on weekends and during spring cleanup or after storms, so plan for a wait. The surface is often gravel or packed dirt and large trucks move around, so take care when walking between vehicles.
