A lot of parks with the land to do it, just keep discarded coaster and ride parts in backstage areas until they eventually get trashed...but there is no one singular coaster dump out there and certainly not one you could visit

In the UK at least, when a coaster is past it's useful life, and can't be sold on as a working coaster, then it's value lies in the metal. Usually, local scrap metal merchants will purchase the coaster as scrap metal. Therefore they end up at any of a number of scrap yards to be broken down and recycled. Nemesis is a recent example, last I heard, it was still at the scrapyard which purchased it.
I can't imagine it's different anywhere else in the world.
Who knows, you could be driving a coaster around now, or even living / working in a building framed with one.
