Hunter Ferrell Landfill

Hunter Ferrell Landfill is a large municipal landfill just off E Hunter Ferrell Rd in Irving, used by both residents and commercial haulers who need a final disposal site. It’s the kind of place where roll-off trucks and pickup trailers mix with bigger commercial rigs, so expect a working, industrial feel. The site handles bulk burial of trash rather than drop-off recycling or transfer operations.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale - vehicles are typically weighed so there’s a stop on the way in and another on the way out. Traffic can include heavy trucks and dump trailers, so there’s a lot of gravel, dust, and big equipment noise; give large vehicles plenty of room to maneuver. After weighing you’ll be directed to a tipping area or cell where loads are emptied and covered; the site is extensive with mounded fills and heavy machinery moving around. Commercial loads are accepted here, and tipping fees are usually structured by weight rather than by load type.
