(254) 562-3889Republic Services Mexia Landfill is the big burial site on County Road 460 that handles municipal and larger loads for the Mexia area. Local contractors and homeowners hauling bulk trash use it; the property looks like a working landfill rather than a tidy transfer station.
There’s a drive-in area with a scale booth where trucks stop to be weighed, so plan for a short pause entering and leaving - tipping fees are assessed by weight at facilities like this. The site is wide open with dirt roads, compacted cells and heavy equipment moving around; visibility can be dusty on dry days and muddy after rain. Pull up to the gated entrance/booth and follow the attendant’s directions for where to dump; commercial trucks are commonly seen here. Expect a no-frills, industrial feel rather than paved, landscaped grounds.
