Texoma Area Solid Waste Authority Landfill
Texoma Area Solid Waste Authority Landfill, 25090 TX-56, Whitesboro, 76273, Texas
This is the Texoma Area Solid Waste Authority landfill out on Highway 56 in Whitesboro. Locals, contractors and haulers drop off household junk, construction debris and other stuff that ends up being buried rather than recycled.
Drive up to a small gate and a scale booth - you’ll be weighed on the way in and again on the way out, so plan for that stop. The site is large, with big dirt cells and compacted piles rather than loading bays or neat recycling rows. Tipping fees at places like this are typically charged by weight with a minimum fee structure, and landfills of this type commonly handle commercial loads as well as residential drops. Heavy equipment moves around, so watch for trucks and give operators plenty of room.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose material before leaving home; wind and passing trucks will scatter a load fast.
- Allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup season-lines at the scale can get long.
- Have your load organized so heavy items go first and lighter stuff can be tossed quickly to speed the trip through the pit.
