ECD Landfill
ECD Landfill, 5703 N. IH 45, Ennis, 75119, Texas
ECD Landfill is on N. IH 45 in Ennis (5703 N. IH 45) and is used by locals and hauling companies for final disposal. It’s the place trash gets buried and covered rather than recycled or reused.
The site feels industrial - large open cells, piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around. There’s typically a weigh scale and an entrance booth, so plan to pull up for weighing before and after tipping. Landfills generally charge tipping fees, often by weight or per load, and usually accept commercial loads, though exact site rules can vary. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect some wait time at busy points.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads; wind off IH 45 will blow debris if not tied down.
- Visit mid-week or mid-morning to avoid the weekend and seasonal backup.
- Drive slowly inside, watch for loaders and large trucks, and be ready to stop on the scale on both entry and exit.
