Waste Facility
Polk County Citizens Collection Station
175 Walding Rd, Livingston, TX 77351
Small, county-run drop-off for local residents in Livingston. People from around Polk County bring household junk, yard debris and other local cleanout loads here. It feels like a straightforward community spot rather than a big city transfer station.
Pull up to a single entrance where there’s usually a small booth or gate to check you in and direct traffic. The site layout is low-profile - open piles or roll-off areas and a few collection containers visible from the drive - so plan to back up or maneuver a trailer. Loads are typically weighed or noted, so there’s a brief stop at the front before heading to the unloading area. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so expect a line and some waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a form of local ID or proof of residency in case it’s asked for at the booth.
- Secure loose items with tarps and tie-downs before arriving to keep the site tidy and avoid debris on the road.
- If hauling a trailer, size it to fit through narrow lanes and be prepared to back into unloading spots; smaller pickup loads move through quicker.
