Republic Services Tessman Road Landfill

A large municipal landfill on the east side of San Antonio that handles household and commercial deliveries. Truck traffic is common here, so expect big rigs and roll‑off trucks alongside pickup trucks and trailers.

There’s a staffed entrance booth and a scale you’ll cross entering and leaving - tipping fees are typically assessed by weight, so vehicles stop twice. The site is expansive with compacted dirt roads, exposed landfill cells, and a few areas where drivers deposit loads; everything looks industrial rather than tidy. Commercial loads are accepted, so plan for larger trucks and occasional traffic backups, especially on busy days.
