Amarillo City Landfill is the big municipal dump out on Bezner Drive used by residents and haulers around Amarillo. It’s the kind of place people bring household trash, construction debris, and commercial loads when curbside pickup won’t cut it.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale that records weights so fees are assessed by weight with a minimum charge common at sites this size. Traffic moves slowly when pickup trucks and roll-offs are lining up; give extra time on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. The tipping area is expansive-large mounds, compactors, and haul roads-so follow on-site signs and the attendant’s directions for where to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a tarp or ropes ready for loose loads so debris doesn’t blow out while driving on the access roads.
- Plan for delays: arriving midweek or early in the morning tends to be quicker than weekends or late afternoons.
- Separate mixed loads in the truck bed if possible-easier to dump and the attendant can tell at a glance what goes where.
