Baytown Landfill is the municipal landfill on Tri-City Beach Road that handles final disposal of solid waste for the area. Neighbors, small haulers and commercial trucks all use this kind of site when there's no other option for large loads. It’s a typical Texas-scale landfill-big, dusty and built for heavy equipment.
Drive up to an entrance booth/scale area where vehicles are usually weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight. After weighing in, follow the flow of traffic to the active cell or drop-off point and then head back over the scale to get an exit ticket. The site looks industrial: compacted berms, exposed soil, heavy machinery moving about and simple signage directing traffic. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly have lines, so be prepared for a short wait before getting to the drop-off.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a copy of any needed load paperwork and have a rough idea of load weight so unloading and checkout go faster.
- Secure loose materials and tarps on trucks or trailers-wind and machinery can scatter light debris quickly.
- Use a vehicle with good clearance if hauling bulky items; some internal roads are rough and can be muddy after rain.
