Snyder City Landfill is the large county landfill out on FM 1673 that locals use for big cleanouts and contractors dropping off loads. Neighbors and businesses come here when the curbside pickup won’t cut it, and the site looks like a typical rural Texas dump-wide open and a little dusty.
Drive in past an entrance booth and a scale; this kind of landfill charges by weight so expect to stop on the way out after dumping. The tipping area is a set of gravel ramps where trucks pull forward to unload, with piles and compacted trenches beyond. There are separate spots for bulk drops and smaller household loads, and the site stretches across a fair amount of acreage so driving between piles is needed. Weekends and spring cleanup can get busy, so plan on a short wait if it’s a holiday or warm Saturday.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs-wind is common and smaller items can blow off during the drive in and out.
- Have the load organized before pulling up to the ramp so dumping is quick; loose, mixed loads take longer to settle.
- Expect some dust and uneven ground-wear sturdy shoes and keep a little distance from heavy equipment and compacted piles.
