Abilene Environmental Landfill
Abilene Environmental Landfill, 1984 FM 3034, Abilene, 79601, Texas
Abilene Environmental Landfill is the city-area landfill on FM 3034, out past the suburbs of Abilene. Local residents, landscapers and commercial haulers bring everything from household junk to construction debris here.
The site is large - expect open cells, equipment moving around, and piles of compacted material spread across a wide area. There’s an entrance booth and scales, so vehicles typically stop to be weighed and then head to a tipping area to unload. Loads are usually billed by weight at landfills of this type, and facilities this size commonly accept commercial haulers. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so plan for a short wait if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Drive carefully in; secure tarps and loose items so nothing blows off on FM 3034.
- Aim for a weekday or early morning to avoid weekend backups, especially during spring cleanup season.
- For small residential drops, check county convenience centers first since they’re closer for many rural residents.
