City of Sweetwater Landfill

City of Sweetwater Landfill, 3000 W. Alabama Avenue, Sweetwater, 79556, Texas

City of Sweetwater Landfill sits out at 3000 W. Alabama Avenue in Sweetwater, Texas and is the municipal landfill used by residents and commercial haulers. People bring loads here when trash won't go to a neighborhood convenience center. It's the place where material is buried and the city handles final disposal.

There’s usually a small entrance area with a scale house or booth and a drive-in approach; many landfills weigh vehicles. After the entrance, drivers are sent toward an open dumping area and a working face where heavy equipment pushes and covers material. The site is mostly dirt and compacted mounds-expect dust in dry weather and mud after rain. Tipping fees apply: landfills commonly charge by weight or by set load rates, and commercial loads are typically accepted but often billed differently.

Before You Go

  • Tie down and cover loose items before the drive; wind on the plains can make loose debris a nuisance.
  • Aim for a weekday or early morning slot if possible-weekends and spring cleanup times usually have the longest lines.
  • Have proof of residency or account information handy and know whether your load is commercial; many city landfills check residency and treat commercial haulers differently.
