A large regional landfill just off TX-359 that handles household and larger loads from around Laredo. Truck traffic is common here, so drivers and contractors use it alongside residents dropping off bulk items.
Drive up to a gate/booth and be prepared to cross a scale - tipping fees are typically charged by weight at places like this, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The site is expansive with dirt access roads and lined cells visible from the main haul road; haul trucks and roll-offs are frequent. Pull up to the working face or instructed drop zone after the scale, then loop back over the scale on exit. It feels industrial: big piles, heavy equipment, and marked lanes for large trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads before leaving home; wind can make a mess on TX-359 and fines or extra cleanup may be enforced elsewhere.
- Bring something to move heavier items if needed - gloves and sturdy boots make unloading at the drop area easier and safer.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; spring and holiday cleanups bring long lines and extra wait time at the scale and entrance booth.
