Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Duke's Junk Removal & Drop is a local waste drop-off spot in north Austin that people use when they need to get rid of household junk or a load from a pickup. Neighbors, DIYers and small contractors tend to swing by for quick disposals rather than full-service hauling. The place is practical and built for driving right up to a drop area.
Drive onto the property and look for an entrance booth and a scale - many Austin facilities have a weigh-in/weigh-out setup, so be ready to stop. Pulling a trailer or backing a truck into a marked drop zone is common; the site is more industrial than tidy, with piles, bins, and compactors visible from the drive. Expect to haul items to the appropriate container or pile rather than leaving everything in one spot. Weekends and seasonal cleanup times tend to be busier, so there can be a line to get to the drop points.
