Local drivers, contractors, and anyone hauling a full pickup or roll-off use this place when things aren’t going to the curb. It sits out on County Road Y, the typical no-frills landfill you’d expect in a rural part of Texas.

The site is open, dusty, and dominated by large dirt cells and compacted piles; trucks and trailers are a common sight and maneuvering space is wide but uneven. Look for traffic flow signs and a place to pull up next to the active tipping area or unloading pad, then haul your load to the face to dump. Expect smells and some dust, and that larger commercial rigs will be moving differently than passenger vehicles.
