Alice Sanitary Land Fill is the local landfill on the north side of Alice that people from town bring household and yard waste to. Neighbors, small contractors and anyone hauling a load from around the county tend to use this spot when other options are farther away.
The site looks like a typical rural landfill: a gated entrance with an attendant booth and a scale nearby, followed by wide gravel drives and piles of compacted material. Heavy equipment moves around, and the ground can be dusty or muddy depending on recent weather. Pull up slowly to the booth and the scale area, wait your turn, then follow signs or staff directions to a drop-off area. Loads are usually dumped into open cells or pits and then covered, so bring something to keep dust off of what’s being hauled.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and cover loose items before getting to the site-wind and truck traffic will scatter debris if not secured.
- Have someone with you to help unload bulky items; ramps and high drop-offs are common and it’s safer with an extra set of hands.
- Expect weekend afternoons and spring cleanup times to be busier; plan for a wait and bring water or shade if staying in a vehicle while waiting.
