Who can use it
The official landfill page lists fees for McLennan County residents and for others, so the landfill is not limited to City of Waco customers. City of Waco Solid Waste customers may dispose of up to one ton (2,000 pounds) of municipal solid waste four times per year at no additional charge. Those customers should bring a current City of Waco utility bill (paper or electronic) showing residential trash service, and a photo ID, each time. A $20 minimum fee is charged to all users when a disposal fee applies.
Hours
- Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.; Sunday closed.

Vehicles with backup alarms are required to use white-noise backup alarms.
