Garland County Landfill sits on AR-7 in Hot Springs Village and is where locals bring household trash and where commercial haulers drop off loads. Expect to see a mix of pickups, trailers and bigger trucks most days.
You'll cross a scale on the way in; the site uses weight-based tipping fees and commercial loads are generally billed under a different rate structure. A small entrance booth handles check-in, then there's a short drive out to the active dumping area where heavy equipment spreads and compacts material. The place is utilitarian - dirt roads, compacted fill piles and tractors working - so drive slowly and watch for traffic. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to have longer lines.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material with a tarp or straps; wind and movement on the drive can shed paper and yard debris.
- Load similar items together so unloading goes faster - separating bulky stuff from loose debris saves time.
- Aim for a weekday or early morning visit when possible; weekend afternoons are the busiest.
