Abilene Regional Landfill

Abilene Regional Landfill, FM 277 / 83 & FM 3034, Abilene, 79601, Texas

Out on FM 277/83 and FM 3034 sits the Abilene Regional Landfill, the large burial site most folks in the area use when they can’t drop stuff at a county convenience center. Trucks and pickups show up here - everything from contractor loads to household cleanouts. It’s clearly a working site, not a tidy recycling yard, so plan accordingly.

A weigh scale and a small entrance booth are part of the routine; expect to stop and be directed where to go. Big tractor-trailers and roll-offs pull up to the working face, while smaller vehicles wind around cell edges to the tip area. The scene is mostly dirt, heavy equipment, and high berms where garbage gets buried; wind can whip light trash around on blustery days. Weekends and spring-cleanup times usually mean lines and slower movement, so allow extra time.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps and tie down loose items - wind and passing trucks can scatter unfastened loads quickly.
  • Be ready to stop at a scale and follow traffic control; landfills charge by weight, so how full the truck is matters.
  • Try for a weekday morning if possible; the place moves faster then, while weekends and big clean-up times get backed up.
