Mexia Landfill
Mexia Landfill, 3048 LCR 460, Mexia, 76667, Texas
Mexia Landfill on LCR 460 is the spot locals and commercial haulers use when trash won’t fit the curbside bin. It’s a rural-scale landfill that handles the town’s regular loads and material hauled in from the surrounding countryside, so expect a bit of distance if coming from farther out.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and a weigh scale where vehicles are usually weighed before and after dumping. The site is mostly dirt roads and compacted cells with loaders and trucks moving material around, so watch for heavy equipment. Tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight or a flat minimum, and commercial loads are normally accepted, so plan accordingly. Weekends and spring-cleanup times often mean lines at the scale are the main hold-up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and straps - wind and dust are common on the access road and at the tipping face.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekend afternoons and spring-cleanup weekends get backed up at the scale.
- Combine materials into fewer trips when you can, since fees are commonly by weight or a minimum per load.
