Itasca Landfill
Itasca Landfill, 2559 FM 66, Itasca, 76055, Texas
Itasca Landfill sits out on FM 66 and is where local households and area haulers take things that need to be buried. Trucks of all sizes show up here - from pickups with a trailer to commercial roll-offs. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality oversees facilities like this across the state.
You’ll cross a scale on the way in - tipping fees are typically calculated by weight or a per-load minimum, so heavier loads cost more. Expect to stop at an entrance booth or check-in point, then pull up toward the working face where heavy equipment does the spreading and compacting. The site is open, dusty in dry weather, and busy with big trucks; have patience on weekends and during spring cleanups. Commercial loads are common here, so it’s not unusual to share the driveway with semi-trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before leaving home; loose trash tends to blow out and makes unloading slower.
- Estimate how much you’re bringing so the driver knows whether it’s a light trailer or a heavy load - tipping fees usually reflect weight.
- Avoid the peak midday weekend rush if possible; arriving earlier in the morning on a weekday will usually move faster.
