City of Amarillo Landfill on 16250 Bezner Drive is where Amarillo residents and local haulers take loads that need burying. It's a big, working city landfill-dusty, with rows of compacted material and plenty of trucks coming and going. Neighbors bring anything from a pickup load of junk to commercial trailers.
Drive up to a scale and an entry booth area; this type of facility charges tipping fees by weight so expect to be weighed in and out. The site is wide open with dirt roads and visible piles or cells where material is placed, so watch for heavy equipment and give big trucks room to maneuver. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at municipal landfills, but they are treated differently than small residential loads when it comes to fees. Weekends, especially during spring_cleanup, can get backed up-midweek mornings tend to be quieter.
