Landfill
La Gloria Ranch Landfill
La Gloria Ranch Landfill, 23485 N. Moorefield Road, Edinburg, 78541, Texas
La Gloria Ranch Landfill is the big landfill out on N. Moorefield Road in Edinburg where local residents and haulers bring trash to be buried. Expect a working-site feel - heavy equipment, dirt ramps, and the kinds of piles you'd expect at a final-disposal place.
Drive in toward an entrance booth/scale area and watch for trucks coming and going; most landfills around here use a scale and charge tipping fees by weight, with different handling for residential versus commercial loads. There’s usually a stop to be weighed and then a second stop after dumping, so plan for a little back-and-forth. The surface is mostly gravel and dirt, with machinery and hauling routes clearly visible, and lines tend to form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp any loose material - wind and passing vehicles will turn an unsecured load into a problem fast.
- If hauling for a business, have any company paperwork or load documentation ready since commercial loads are handled differently than small household drops.
- Avoid weekend mornings and the big spring-cleanup rush if possible; midweek visits usually move faster and feel less hectic.
