Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

Lake Dumpster is the small public dump just off Wyndy Ln in Osage Beach, used by local homeowners and small contractors hauling household and yard debris. It feels like the kind of place neighbors stop by when clearing out a garage or doing a weekend project.
Pull up from Wyndy Ln into a single entrance driveway that opens onto a rough, vehicle-friendly lot with space to back trailers and unload. There’s typically an entrance booth or stop point where vehicles pause before moving on to the dump areas, and a scale is common at places like this so stopping twice isn’t unusual. Expect piles of mixed material, roll-off containers and concrete/asphalt/leaves stacked in separate sections, with enough room for pickups and small trailers to maneuver. Weekends-especially spring clean-up times-get busy, so lines and slower service are normal.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and tarp loads before leaving home so unloading moves quickly and material doesn’t spill in the driveway.
- Leave a bit of extra room between vehicles when lining up; backing a trailer around the containers needs space.
- Bring gloves, eye protection and a set of basic tools for disassembling items-it speeds unloading and keeps things safer.
