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.
