Charles M Hinton Jr Regional Landfill in Rowlett is the regional landfill out on Elm Grove Road where trash and larger loads end up being buried. Locals and haulers use it when curbside pickup won’t cut it - it’s the kind of place meant for big, final disposal.
You'll drive up to a scale and an entrance booth; regional landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on being weighed. Pull up to the booth, get directed to the unloading area, and then usually go back over the scale on the way out. The site itself is big and industrial-looking - gravel drives, berms, and piles in the distance, with clear lanes for trucks and smaller vehicles. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to have lines, so expect some waiting if it’s busy.
