City of Waco Landfill
City of Waco Landfill, 11400 Old McGregor Road, Woodway, 76712, Texas
City of Waco Landfill on Old McGregor Road is where locals haul everything from household cleanouts to commercial loads for final burial. Like most municipal landfills it has a scale and charges tipping fees by weight or load, and commercial haulers are handled here.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and stop to check in before driving on; there’s a scale you’ll cross so expect to be weighed and to stop again when you leave. The site is large and mostly open - gravel roads, heavy equipment moving dirt, and rows of active cells and capped areas. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so traffic and dust are common. Unloading is straightforward but can take a few minutes if crews are placing material or rerouting trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads; anything that blows out turns into a bigger hassle for everyone.
- Have proof of residency or vehicle paperwork handy-city landfills often ask for it to verify residential versus commercial loads.
- If hauling a commercial or oversized load, try weekdays or earlier in the day to avoid weekend backups, and separate bulky items ahead of time to speed unloading.
