Disposal Site
Altair Disposal Services LLC
Altair Disposal Services LLC, 5464 Highway 71, Altair, 77412, Texas
Altair Disposal Services LLC is the small disposal site just off Highway 71 that most people from town use for household cleanups and the odd bulky item. It’s the spot local residents and small haulers stop at when there’s more than will fit in a curbside can.
Pull in from Highway 71 to a fenced lot with a visible entrance and a small booth/scale area where vehicles line up to check in. The yard is open with piles, roll-off containers and room for trucks to back up; expect uneven ground and dusty conditions. Stops are usually brief if traffic is light, but bring someone to help with heavy lifting-the drop zones aren’t always set up for single-person unloading. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, so patience is part of the trip.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before leaving the highway-tarps and straps keep debris from blowing out and attracting tickets.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves; unloading is often done by hand and surfaces are rough and dusty.
- Avoid mid-morning weekends during peak cleanup season if possible, or be prepared to wait and stage your vehicle for backing into a drop area.
