Cefe Valenzuela Landfill is the Robstown spot where household and commercial trash ends up for burial. Locals and haulers use it-it's the kind of place trucks frequent rather than a little drop-off center.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale; tipping fees are typically structured by weight or by load, so expect to be weighed. The site is large and mostly open dirt and compacted cells with roads wide enough for big trucks; smaller pickups can navigate but should watch for ruts. Commercial loads are accepted, so larger semi-trailers and roll-offs are common and can make the place feel busy. Lines can form on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, so there may be a wait before getting to the disposal area.

Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and tie-downs; wind can blow loose debris and create a mess or extra stops.
- Bring a vehicle that can handle rough, uneven surfaces-ground can be muddy after rain and low-clearance cars may scrape.
- Have an estimate of how much material is being hauled (by volume or number of pickup loads) so unloading and routing decisions go quicker when it's your turn.
