A working landfill on the edge of Weatherford where household and larger loads end up. Locals, contractors and landscapers use it - it’s not a small drop-off but a full-scale burial site for trash. The place looks like what it is: big piles, heavy equipment, and wide driveways for trucks.
Drive up to an entrance booth/scale area - most people stop there to be weighed before rolling into the tipping area. The site is spread out with compacted dirt roads and heavy machinery moving around, so take it slow and watch for big trucks. Vehicles usually pull into a designated unloading pad or trench and dump; then they leave past the scale again. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so be prepared for a short wait.

Before You Go

- Bring gloves and sturdy shoes - the ground can be uneven, dusty or muddy depending on weather.
- Aim for midweek or early mornings to avoid the busiest times when contractors and homeowners converge.
