Who can use it
The Temple Landfill is operated by Waste Management under a lease agreement with the City of Temple and receives visitors from the Central Texas Council of Governments seven-county region. Bring identification to show where the waste was generated. Temple residents with a pickup load or less of general household cleanup may take one free dump per month if they bring a current water utility bill showing the residential garbage rate. That allowance does not include mattresses, any type of remodeling, demolition, building, or roofing materials, or anything over a pickup load. If you are not a Temple resident, the official minimum charge is $58.24 plus a $0.94 state fee. Accepted payment methods are check and credit card (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover only).
