Pine Hill Landfill

Pine Hill Landfill is the regional landfill serving Kilgore and nearby parts of East Texas. It’s the kind of place contractors and homeowners drop larger loads that need burying rather than recycling. Expect a big, industrial site with heavy equipment moving around and truck traffic coming and going.

There’s a scale house where trucks usually stop to be weighed - landfills charge tipping fees by weight or volume, so hauling companies and commercial haulers plan for that. Drive up to the booth to check in, then follow the traffic flow out to the active dumping face; large semi rigs and smaller trucks share the same traffic lanes. The site is open and dusty in dry weather, with compactors and dozers working the piles; be prepared to wait a bit during busy times like spring cleanup or contractor shifts. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are typically off to the side near the entrance rather than mixed in with the landfill cells.
