City of Grand Prairie Landfill

City of Grand Prairie Landfill on MacArthur Boulevard is the large municipal landfill most locals use when curbside pickup or a transfer station won’t do. Residents and commercial haulers head here for final disposal; the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is the state agency that oversees facilities like this in Texas.

Drive up to an entrance area with a scale and a pay booth-landfills generally charge tipping fees and often bill by weight or by load, so plan for a weigh-in. After the initial stop, follow the flow of traffic and posted directions to the active dumping area, where heavy equipment moves dirt and compacted loads; it’s dusty and noisy, so keep a safe distance. Expect a large site with graded cells and berms rather than tidy bins, and know weekends and spring cleanup times commonly have lines.
