Before your dump run in Austin

  • Call ahead. Hours change on holidays and in bad weather, and some sites stop taking loads before closing time.
  • Check if it's residents only. County and city collection stations often ask for a driver's license or utility bill.
  • Sort your load. Tires, mattresses, appliances and brush often cost extra or go to a separate pile.
  • Cover and tie down your load. Loose loads are dangerous and many sites charge extra or turn you away.
  • Keep hazardous waste separate. Paint, chemicals, batteries and motor oil usually need a household hazardous waste site.
