Fort Worth Southeast Landfill

Big regional landfill out on Salt Road that handles both residential and commercial loads. Mostly used by contractors and homeowners with big cleanups, so expect a working, no-frills place. It’s the kind of site where trucks and trailers are the norm rather than pickup trucks with a couple of bags.

Drive up to a roll-up booth at the entrance and be prepared to stop on a scale; charges are typically based on weight so there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out. After the booth, follow the signs or the traffic - large trucks will queue and there’s room to maneuver but tight spots if it’s busy. The tipping area is a mix of compacted dirt, exposed trash faces and heavy equipment moving around; boots and steady footing are a good idea. Recycling or drop-off bins, if available, tend to be off to the side rather than in the main tipping zone.
