Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

Lacy Lakeview Landfill is the city landfill at 677 Selby Lane in Waco - where bulky household junk and construction loads end up. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality oversees waste facilities across the state, so this site is part of that statewide system. Residents and commercial haulers bring material here when it needs to be buried rather than picked up curbside.
Expect the typical landfill setup: an entry area with a weigh station or booth and a place to tip larger loads. Tipping fees at landfills are usually charged by weight or volume, and costs increase with bigger or commercial loads, so plan for that when hauling. The site is large and open, with heavy equipment and trucks moving material; drivers pull up, tip at a working face, then head back out. Weekends and spring-cleanup season tend to get busy, so lines are common at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie-downs for loose items - wind on Selby Lane can scatter debris and make unloading messier.
- Assume a weigh-in and a tipping fee; give the trip extra time so waiting at the scale or in line doesn’t derail the schedule.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible, especially during spring cleanups, when backups and longer wait times are most likely.
