City of Port Arthur Landfill

City of Port Arthur Landfill on West Highway 73 is the final place trash gets buried for parts of Beaumont and nearby areas. It handles both residential drops and larger commercial hauls, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and heavy trucks coming through.

There’s a scale and an entrance booth where drivers check in, and tipping fees are charged by weight so plan for a weigh-in when coming and again when leaving. Pull up to the booth, get directed to the tipping pad, then back into the drop area - the layout is straightforward but large. The site looks like rolling dirt cells with heavy equipment working and piles of compacted material; big rigs are common and weekends tend to be the busiest. Expect to slow down for traffic inside the gates and for trucks maneuvering into position.
