Buffalo Creek Landfill is the local burial site for trash and larger loads near Iowa Park, used by homeowners and commercial haulers who need a final disposal spot. Located on W Smith Ave, it looks like a working county landfill rather than a polished transfer station. Folks bringing full trailers or truckloads are the most common visitors.
There’s usually a low concrete or metal booth at the entrance and a visible drive where trucks pull up to be weighed or recorded; tipping fees are typically charged by weight at landfills like this, and commercial loads are commonly accepted. The site itself is open dirt and compacted cover-expect to drive on gravel and see heavy equipment and compacted refuse mounds. Plan to stop twice if a scale is used: once in and once out, and to follow attendants’ directions for where to dump.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose loads before getting on the road so nothing blows out while waiting in line or driving through the site.
- Have any required ID, permits, or manifests easily accessible in the cab so unloading goes faster if they ask for documentation.
- Go early on weekdays if possible; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have the longest lines and slower service.
