Victoria Landfill

18141 FM1686, Victoria, TX 77905

(361) 897-1622

Victoria Landfill is the city landfill out on FM1686, used by homeowners and haulers from around Victoria and nearby rural areas. It’s the place where trash gets buried rather than recycled or processed, and both small drop-offs and larger commercial loads typically end up here. The site is large and feels like a working industrial area rather than a tidy transfer station.

Drive out to 18141 FM1686 and pull up to a staffed entrance booth or gate area - there’s usually a paved drive and room to maneuver a truck or trailer. Expect to see a scale nearby and that tipping fees are handled by weight or load size at most landfills, so vehicles often stop twice: once in and once out. The active cells and rows of compacted material are obvious from the working face, with heavy equipment moving around and piles that change over time. Weekends and seasonal cleanup days tend to be busier, so plan for a short wait if there’s a line of trucks.

Before You Go

  • Bring a secure tarp and straps for loose loads - wind can blow things off while driving to the site and some drivers may be turned away if loads are unsecured.
  • Have a clear plan for where to unload before backing in; the working face moves and staff will direct traffic, so follow directions and watch for heavy equipment.
  • If hauling a large commercial load, allow extra time for check-in and weighing since larger trucks tend to take longer and can create a backlog.
