Twin Oaks Landfill

Twin Oaks Landfill sits off State Highway 30 a few miles outside Anderson and is where household and commercial loads end up buried. Locals, contractors and county trucks all use it; the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is the state overseer for facilities like this. It’s big and no-frills - the kind of place for dropping serious loads rather than quick curbside stuff.

Drive in from the highway and there’s a scale and an entrance booth to deal with before being sent to the working face, so expect to stop twice - in and out. The site is full of heavy equipment, dirt berms and big open cells where loads get tipped and covered; surfaces are mostly gravel and compacted dirt. Pull up to the booth/scale area, get weighed, then follow the signs or directions to the unloading spot; traffic can be slow with dump trucks moving around. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can back up the line.
