City of Edinburg Landfill

City of Edinburg Landfill is the municipal landfill on E. Encinitos Road, the place residents and haulers go when something needs to be buried rather than recycled. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality oversees facilities like this, and city landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight and often accept commercial as well as residential loads.

The site is big and utilitarian - dirt roads, large mounds of compacted trash, and heavy equipment moving around. There is usually a scale/entrance booth setup where vehicles stop to be weighed, so plan on pulling up, waiting to be weighed, then heading out to the active dumping area. After unloading drivers typically return to the scale, since charges are based on weight. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get backed up, so lines and slowing traffic aren’t unusual.
