East Texas Regional Landfill

East Texas Regional Landfill is the larger county/regional dump just outside Henderson that handles household and commercial hauls. Locals and haulers both use it - expect tractor-trailers and pickup-and-trailer combos in the yard. The site sits out on FM 2867, so it feels rural but built for big loads.

A scalehouse and weigh scale are part of the entry sequence, so vehicles usually stop to be weighed and then stop again leaving. Pull into the booth lane, get directed where to tip, then drive up to the active cell or drop point; expect gravel drives and heavy machinery moving around. The footprint is large - long rows of working cells and mounded cover - and commercial trucks are common, since regional landfills take larger, business-generated loads. Tipping fees are handled by weight at places like this, so charges are determined on the scale rather than a flat per-item rate.
