Two Facilities, Two Different Jobs
When debris leaves a Fayetteville property, it typically ends up at one of two nearby facilities that serve very different purposes. The Eco-Vista Landfill, operated by Waste Management just north in Springdale, is the actual regional disposal site for municipal solid waste and construction and demolition debris. The Fayetteville Transfer Station, run by the city itself on South Happy Hollow Road, is a collection point — the place city residents and haulers bring material before it's consolidated and moved on for disposal. Knowing the difference matters if you're ever trying to figure out where something in your own load should go.
Eco-Vista Landfill: Address, Hours, What It Takes
Eco-Vista Landfill sits at 2210 Waste Management Drive in Springdale — formally operated under the name Tontitown Landfill, LLC per state environmental permit records, at that same Waste Management Drive address. It accepts Class 1 municipal solid waste and Class 4 construction and demolition debris, and runs a tire drop-off for passenger and truck tires up to 24.5 inches. It does not accept hazardous materials.

The facility has been the subject of a long-running local discussion between Waste Management and the neighboring City of Tontitown over landfill expansion permits — a matter that's played out through the standard state permitting and appeals process over the past several years. That's a regulatory and civic conversation between the operator, the state, and Tontitown, and it doesn't change the facility's day-to-day operating details above.
Fayetteville Transfer Station: The City's Own Facility
The Fayetteville Transfer Station, at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road, is the city's own drop-off facility and the same site used for the city's residential Bulky Waste program (see our guide to the 2025 Bulky Waste program changes for more on that).

What Happens After Your Debris Leaves the Curb or the Container
Material collected at the Transfer Station gets consolidated and moved on for disposal rather than staying on-site long-term — that's the whole function of a transfer station, as distinct from a landfill. Material hauled directly to Eco-Vista, whether by a resident, a contractor, or a licensed hauler like us, goes straight into the regional disposal and recycling stream at the point of intake. Either way, the debris from a Fayetteville job doesn't just disappear once it leaves your property — it moves through a real, regulated system with a defined destination at every step.
Why Most Fayetteville Customers Never Have to Make Either Trip
The whole point of renting a roll-off through a local hauler is that you never have to load your own truck, drive to Springdale or South Happy Hollow Road, and unload by hand during a narrow weekday window. We make those trips so you don't have to — the container gets loaded once, at your property, on your schedule, and where it goes after pickup is handled as part of the job. If you ever do need to make a trip yourself — dropping off a single item, or checking current hours before a holiday — the reference details above should get you there without any surprises.
