Disposal Site
Big Lake Commercial Oil and Gas Waste Separation and Disposal Facility
275 E Bar Rd, Big Lake, TX 76932
800-963-4776Big Lake Commercial Oil and Gas Waste Separation and Disposal Facility is the local disposal site out on 275 E Bar Rd in Big Lake. Folks in town and small operators drop off loads here when they need to get rid of commercial oil and gas related material.
The place looks industrial - a guarded entrance with a small booth and a lot of heavy equipment and tanks beyond it. Pull up to the booth when arriving; most people stop there first to get checked in before moving into the yard. There’s usually a weigh scale for trucks, so expect to stop twice if coming in with a trailer. Driveways and lanes are wide enough for large trucks, but take it slow - loose gravel and mud patches show up after rain.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring paperwork or identification that ties the load to the vehicle; facilities like this commonly need that at the booth.
- Load and tarp trailers securely before arriving - there’s limited room to rework a load once parked in the yard.
- Plan for possible waits on weekends or right after local drilling activity; big rigs and commercial drops can create lines.
