Del Rio City Landfill

Del Rio City Landfill is the municipal landfill serving Del Rio and surrounding areas. Local residents and commercial haulers both use this site for final disposal of solid waste. It's a larger-scale landfill rather than a small drop-off, so expect heavy equipment and open cells where material is buried.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop - most landfills charge tipping fees and use a scale so vehicles are weighed heading in or out. The working area is big and dusty, with dozers and compactors moving trash piles and trucks lining up to tip. Recycling or small-drop containers, if present, tend to sit off to the side past the booth, and traffic can back up on busy weekends or during seasonal cleanups. Commercial loads are typically accepted at municipal landfills like this one, so expect larger trucks and higher-volume activity compared with a neighborhood transfer site.
