Solid Waste Facility
Lubbock Solid Waste Department
208 Municipal Drive 1631 84th St 7308 Milwaukee Ave, 4307 Adrian St, Lubbock, TX 79403
(806) 775-2495Lubbock Solid Waste Department is the city’s general drop-off for household trash, yard debris and recycling-type materials. Locals from all over Lubbock bring pickup loads, trailers and truck beds here when curbside pickup isn’t enough or for larger cleanups.
Drive up to a clearly marked entrance where there’s typically a booth and lanes for different types of loads. Pull forward to the appropriate lane - larger trailers and trucks will need more room to maneuver - and be prepared to hop out and show what’s in the back. The site is industrial: concrete pads, roll-off containers, and piles for brush and green waste are common sights, with recycling bins set off to one side. Expect weekend traffic and some waiting during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a little line time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home so unloading goes quickly - loose items mixed with brush slow things down.
- Secure tarps and tie-downs on loose loads; wind and turns can spill debris and make cleanup longer.
- Bring work gloves and a good pair of shoes - the ground is uneven in places and there’s a lot of heavy lifting.
