Itasca Landfill

Small but busy county landfill out on FM 66 in Itasca, mostly used by local residents and area contractors hauling trash and demo material. It’s the kind of place where pickups, trailers and rolloffs show up alongside homeowners with carloads. Landfills of this type are the final burying spot for most municipal trash, and they typically operate with tipping fees and accept commercial loads.

Drive in off FM 66 and there’s a gatehouse/scale area where trucks line up to get weighed; expect to stop twice if it’s by weight. The site is mostly open earth and compacted cells, with a few piles and a working face where trucks tip. Pull up to the active unloading area when directed and watch for heavy equipment moving around - visibility isn’t great in spots. Weekends and spring clean-up times get the longest lines, so crowds are noticeable then.
