City of Laredo Landfill
City of Laredo Landfill, 6912 State Hwy 359, Laredo, 78043, Texas
City of Laredo Landfill on State Hwy 359 is the municipal dump where household trash and larger commercial loads end up being buried. Locals, contractors, and hauling companies all bring loads here-it's the big, no-frills final stop outside town.
Drive in past an entrance booth and you'll go over a scale; tipping fees are typically weight-based so expect a scale stop as part of the process. The place is large and spread out-gravel roads, dirt cells, and heavy trucks moving around are the norm. Commercial loads and roll-off trucks are common alongside pickup-truck residential drops. Lines can build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so be prepared for some wait time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose material-wind on 359 will send trash flying if a load isn't secured.
- Wear closed-toe shoes and have gloves handy; getting stuff out of a truck bed or trailer often means jumping around gravel and dust.
- If hauling a trailer, leave extra room when pulling in and be ready for traffic control or cone lines guiding trucks to the scale and tipping area.
