Small county disposal spot just off AR-18 in Lake City, used mostly by locals dropping household trash and the occasional trailer load. People from around Craighead County swing by with everything from kitchen bags to bulky items when they need to get rid of it.
The place feels like a working yard more than a tidy recycling center: a simple entrance with a little booth and a scale nearby is common at sites like this, so be prepared to pull up and stop for a short moment. Expect a wide drive-in area where trucks and trailers line up to tip loads; larger piles and compacted trash are visible from the road. Trucks usually back up to a concrete pad or pit to empty, so a bit of dust and noise is normal, and weekend visits tend to be busier than weekday ones.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items before leaving home so nothing blows off while driving or during unloading.
- Bring work gloves and sturdy shoes; footing can be uneven and there’s often loose debris around the drop-off points.
- Aim for a weekday or mid-morning visit if possible to avoid longer lines that build up on weekends and during community cleanup seasons.
