Waste Management - Lacy Lakeview Landfill

A working landfill on the east side of Waco where household and larger loads end up buried. Locals and haulers use it when curbside pickups or transfer stations won’t take something. It’s the kind of place where trucks and commercial rigs are common alongside pickup trucks full of junk.

The site looks like a typical landfill: a weigh scale and an entrance booth area, large tipping cells and long dirt roads. Drivers will stop at the scale to be weighed and then pull forward to a dumping area; loads are buried rather than processed. Commercial trucks are a common sight and tipping fees are charged by weight here, so expect to be weighed on both directions of travel. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, and the place is mostly heavy equipment, big piles, and compacted dirt rather than neat recycling bins.
