Austin Garbage Dump
301 Oak Ridge Dr, Austin, AR 72007
A local dump serving Austin and nearby rural folks, mostly used by residents dropping off household and yard debris. People stop here when clearing out a truck or trailer, not for regular curbside pickup. Small-town scale - nothing fancy, just a place to unload and be on the way.
Drive up to a simple entrance area with a small booth or gate where vehicles pause before entering the tipping area. The site has open piles or containers and room to back a trailer up to drop material; big rigs move through alongside pickup trucks. Expect dusty driveways and gravel; maneuvering a loaded trailer takes a bit of space. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves, a tarp, and straps - loose stuff flies around and tarps help keep things contained during the trip in.
- Have an idea how the load will be unloaded before pulling in; backing and dumping takes more room than it looks.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible - midweek or later afternoons usually move faster when neighbors aren’t dropping off big loads.
