New Solid Waste Facilities Open to the Public
The new City of Waco Landfill and Transfer Station are accepting waste from the public as of Monday, March 2, 2026. The existing landfill will ceased operation on Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Construction on the facilities was completed in Fall 2025. Since then, City of Waco Solid Waste trucks have been taking waste to the new locations to establish a fluff layer—a layer of trash free of sharp objects that helps protect the landfill liner from damage.
Each new facility includes a Customer Convenience Center, a quick and easy option for customers to drop off trash, recyclables, tires, and other household waste without joining the main landfill queue.
Residential solid waste customers are able drop off up to one ton (2,000 pounds) of waste at either location four times per year at no additional cost. Bring a current City of Waco utility bill and photo ID each time.
The new facilities are a great addition to the City’s comprehensive Solid Waste services, supporting an excellent customer experience and representing a major investment into the future.
