Wilson County Landfill in Floresville is the county landfill where trucks and pickup loads are buried. Locals, contractors and haulers use it-it's the kind of place you go when curbside pickup won't cut it.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to slow down; there's usually a scale to weigh loads so expect to stop coming and going. The site is low, open and dusty with dirt roads and piles or cells in the distance rather than buildings. Pull forward to where trucks are directed, unstrap or tarp loads before getting out, and then bring your load to the drop-off point indicated by the site attendants or signage.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loose material contained or tarped; wind can make a mess and tarps speed things up at the drop-off.
- Plan to stop on the scale both ways-loads are typically charged by weight-so leave enough time for the weigh-in/weigh-out process.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; spring cleanup and weekends tend to be busiest and backups at the gate are common.
