Plan your drop-off

Dumps & landfills in TX

Texas has no statewide drop-off program for household trash; each city, county or private landfill sets its own hours, fees and residency rules. Many city and county sites are free or discounted for residents with a driver's license and a utility bill, while out-of-town and commercial users pay per ton. This set covers 250 listings, with confirmed details mainly for city and county facilities in larger counties.

State rules to know

Tires

Whole scrap tires may not go to Texas landfills; only processed (shredded or split) tires are accepted, and many sites charge a per-tire fee. Official rule ↗

Electronics

Texas runs TV and computer recycling programs where manufacturers fund collection, so many sites take these electronics free or with a small fee. Official rule ↗

Household hazardous waste

Household hazardous waste is handled through local HHW programs and collection events listed by TCEQ, not at most landfills or transfer stations. Official rule ↗

Most Texas landfills and transfer stations refuse household hazardous waste. Use your city or county HHW program (TCEQ keeps a contact list) and call ahead, as many are residents-only or appointment-based.

How much does a dump run cost?
