Brady Landfill is the town landfill off US‑87 in Brady, Texas, where larger loads that can't go to a curbside pickup or a convenience center end up. Locals, county residents and haulers from surrounding ranches use it for final disposal. It’s the place to bring material that will be buried rather than recycled.
Drive up a short gravel entrance and there’s usually a scale-landfills like this charge by weight, so tipping fees are typically weight‑based with different residential and commercial rates. A small booth or gate is common near the entrance, then traffic is directed out to the working areas where trucks unload. The site is open, with dirt and compacted fill, and heavy equipment moving around, so expect rough ground and dust. Plan for a bit of downtime if there’s a line; weekends and spring cleanup times often get busier.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and straps before leaving home; loose debris blows around on the drive in and off the truck.
- Bring gloves and something to shove loose trash-unloading can be dusty and awkward, especially with bulky items.
- If hauling commercially, have any business paperwork or load info sorted and easy to access to speed through the scale/booth process.
