East Oak RDF is the city dump out on Mosley Road that most neighborhood pickups and small contractors use when they need to drop off a load. It’s the kind of place locals swing by for everything from old furniture to brush after storms. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything polished.
A small entrance booth and a short wait to speak with attendants sits just inside the gate; larger trucks will need to pull up to the scale box before heading in. The site is broad and open with piles and bays visible from the drive, and traffic moves slowly because vehicles have to line up and unload. Residential drop-offs are common so weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busiest, and tornado season can noticeably increase debris traffic. Bring a vehicle that can maneuver tight turns and be prepared to stop at the scale on the way out.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads with a tarp or tie things down; loose debris can blow off while waiting in line.
- Use a shorter trailer or truck if possible-some turn radiuses and ramps are a bit tight for long rigs.
- Avoid peak weekend hours or spring cleanup weekends if looking for a quicker turnaround; expect extra wait time when neighborhood cleanup is active.
