Pauls Valley Landfill

Pauls Valley Landfill, on East Airport Industrial Road, is the local landfill where household trash and larger loads end up. Residents and commercial haulers from around town typically bring loads here for burial at the site. It’s a big outdoor operation, not a curbside drop-off.

Expect to pull up to an entrance area and be weighed; landfills usually charge tipping fees by weight so there’s often a stop on the way in or out. The site is sprawling with heavy equipment, compacted cells and rough, sometimes dusty surfaces, so drive slowly and watch for large vehicles. Unloading areas are open and spread out; look for posted directions to recycling or special-material drop-offs, which are often set off from general trash areas. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for delays.
