Solid Waste Facility

Garland County Solid Waste

501 Ouachita Ave # B4, Hot Springs, AR 71901

(501) 622-3658

County-operated solid waste drop-off used by Hot Springs residents and contractors for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Modest in scale compared with larger city transfer stations, it handles a bit of everything you'd haul from a cleanup or small renovation. Expect a practical, working-site feel rather than anything fancy.

Drive up to a staffed entrance area where vehicles are directed to pull forward to unload; there’s usually a small booth and clear traffic lanes. Recycling and yard waste containers are typically separated from the main trash area, with signs or painted islands marking where to go. Loads are handled on a drive-in basis, so vehicles will pull up, unload into open containers or bays, then exit the site. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so lines and waiting trucks are common.

Before You Go

  • Sort materials at home into trash, recyclables and yard waste before getting there to speed up unloading and avoid juggling items at the gate.
  • Bring straps or a tarp for loose loads; windy days can turn a truckbed into a mess if stuff isn’t secured.
  • Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or known community cleanup weeks if possible to cut down on wait time.
