A working landfill on the outskirts of Iowa Park that handles household and larger loads. Locals, landscapers, and contractors use this place when trash or construction debris needs a final drop-off. It’s the kind of site where pickups and dump trucks are a regular sight.
A scale booth sits at the entrance-expect to stop there before heading in and again on the way out since most landfills charge by weight. Drive up to the drop-off area where rows of compacted cells and exposed dirt mounds dominate the view; bring a truck or trailer that can handle rough ground. Commercial trucks are commonly accepted at landfills of this scale, so larger loads shouldn’t be a surprise. There are no frills: a small office/booth near the gate, a big open tipping area, and a steady flow of vehicles during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep loads covered while driving on public roads and secure items in the bed-dust and loose debris are common around the site.
- Bring something to close a tailgate or a tarp for awkward items; maneuvering around trucks and uneven ground can make unloading trickier than expected.
- Plan trips for weekdays if possible-weekends and spring cleanup days tend to have longer lines and slower traffic through the gate.
