Get Directions

City of Denton Landfill on S. Mayhill Road is where Denton residents and local haulers take trash that will be buried at the final disposal site. It handles everything from pickup-truck cleanouts to commercial loads, and the place feels like a working industrial yard rather than a tidy drop-off center.

Expect to cross a scale and be weighed-tipping fees are charged by weight, so stopping again on the way out is normal. There’s usually a booth or check point at the entrance and a clear lane to pull up for weighing and directions; big trucks and trailers need extra room to maneuver. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with large compacted mounds and heavy equipment moving around, so it looks and sounds like a construction zone. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so busy times can back up traffic into the entrance.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads so nothing blows out on the road or across the tipping area; loose items slow everyone down and can get scattered by wind.
  • Use a vehicle with enough clearance and power; gravel ramps and backing into the tipping face can be awkward for low-clearance cars or overloaded pickups.
  • Allow extra time when hauling a trailer or commercial-sized load-getting on and off the scale and positioning to unload usually takes longer than a simple bag drop.
