Waste Management - Hillside Landfill is the local landfill for the area near Tom Bean/Sherman, used by both residential folks and commercial haulers looking to drop final-disposal loads. It’s the place where anything that’s getting buried ends up, so expect tractor-trailers as well as pickup trucks in the mix.
Drive up to an entrance booth and get directed onto the site; there’s typically a scale to cross so loads are weighed and charged by weight, with the usual minimums common at landfills. The tipping area is large and the site looks like the typical graded cells and dirt ramps; trucks pull up, tip, and then leave the active zone. Lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup, and commercial trucks are a regular sight alongside smaller vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and cover loads before reaching the gate so nothing blows out while waiting in line.
- Bring proper paperwork or ID that proves residency or commercial status if needed, and have it ready rather than digging through the cab.
- Try to avoid mid-morning on busy weekends-early or later in the day usually moves faster and keeps you out of the backup.
