Williamson County Landfill in Hutto is the county landfill where residential and commercial trash ends up. It’s the large, final-burial site out on County Road 128 used by local haulers, contractors, and homeowners with big loads. The place is busy at times and built to handle heavy trucks and municipal-sized deliveries.
Expect a wide, open facility with clear driving lanes and a weigh scale building near the entrance; tipping fees are charged by weight at landfills like this, so vehicles are weighed in and out. There’s an entrance booth and a scale, and drivers usually pull up to the scale house first, then proceed to the active tipping area. The working face is where loads get dumped and covered, so plan for gravel surfaces and heavy equipment moving around. On busier days lines can form, especially with commercial trucks and weekend household cleanouts.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure all loads with tarps or straps; loose trash can result in fines or being turned away at the scale.
- Bring any required paperwork for commercial loads and know the vehicle weight to avoid surprises on the scale.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings if possible - smaller trucks and pickups move faster during weekday midday lulls.
