Smallish regional landfill just off FM 521 that handles both household drop-offs and commercial loads. Trucks and roll-offs are a common sight here, so expect a working, no-frills place used by contractors and locals alike. It’s the kind of site people use when they need to bury material rather than recycle or haul to a transfer station.
A weigh scale and an intake booth sit near the entrance, so drivers usually stop twice-once in and once on the way out. The tipping area is on open, graded cells with heavy equipment moving piles around; wear clothes that can handle dust. Traffic can back up when several dump trucks show up, and large rigs pull in and out through a wide drive. If bringing a trailer, there’s room to maneuver but expect to take it slow on the access road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or cover for loose loads-wind and dust are common and the site is exposed.
- Securely tie down items before entering; loose debris off trailers is often not allowed and creates extra hassle.
- Plan for a little extra time if a commercial fleet is there-multiple trucks tend to move ahead of smaller vehicles.
