Landfill
Republic Services Landfill
251 County Rd 4421, Itasca, TX 76055
Small-town landfill just off County Rd 4421 that handles household and commercial loads for the Itasca area. Trucks, trailers and pickup loads all pull in here to get buried instead of hauled elsewhere. Texas facilities vary a lot, so this one feels like a rural, working landfill rather than a city transfer station.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you'll likely be directed onto a scale - most landfills charge by weight, so expect to stop twice, coming and going. The site is open, dusty and lined with compacted cells where material gets buried; big roll-off trucks and pickups share the same lanes. There are usually separate drop areas for different kinds of loads, so be ready to be waved to a specific pile or pad. Lines tend to form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so the whole process can take longer when it's busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads with a tarp for safety and to keep loose material from blowing out during the drive.
- Try to come midweek or early in the morning to avoid long lines on weekends and spring cleanup days.
- Bring any paperwork your hauler or business requires; commercial loads often need manifests or load IDs before tipping.
