Railroad Avenue Disposal is the local disposal site in Olive Branch where residents bring household junk and yard debris. Neighbors from town and nearby rural roads use it for regular drop-offs and seasonal cleanouts.
Drive up to an entrance area with a booth and a lane to pull into; many disposal sites have a scale and charge by weight, so be prepared to stop more than once. Vehicle queues can form, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect short waits at peak times. The site looks like a typical disposal yard with piles or containers for different types of material and clear lanes for dropping things off and leaving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps so nothing blows out in the parking and pull-through areas.
- Bring gloves, a ramp or dolly for heavy items, and wear sturdy shoes since walkways and drop zones can be dusty and uneven.
- Try to come early on busy days to avoid backups, and have vehicles unloaded as much as possible before pulling up to the booth/scale.
