Hazardous waste
Not accepted at the landfill: liquids (including paint), batteries, tires and hazardous waste. The FY 2026-2027 rate ordinance also says residents may take household hazardous waste to the city's Home Chemical Center at 1527 S. Mayhill Rd. during operational hours, or schedule curbside collection through Customer Service. Do not leave hazardous waste while the facility is closed or unattended. The landfill page does not list separate Home Chemical Center hours.

Other notes
- Payment: credit cards, debit cards and tap-to-pay only; cash is not accepted.
- Every load must be tarped or tied down. Traffic and waits at the landfill can be significant.
- Rates are from the City of Denton Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Solid Waste Rate Ordinance, effective October 1, 2026.
- Bagged brush and green waste is not accepted.
- The rate ordinance rate tables are labeled effective October 1, 2026, and the ordinance was passed September 22, 2026. A later section of the same PDF also says the ordinance is effective October 1, 2023, which conflicts with those dates; the October 1, 2026 table and September 22, 2026 passage date are what we use.
