$21 a yard (after taxes), 2 yrds min, construction materials only. This is a great rate. I spent $42 total on a van packed with items. Bring reflective vests and hard hats or they’ll make you purchase them. But they aren’t much.Beyond that. This place is amazing. A giant mound of consumer waste being mowed down by brutally massive machines. Check it out for its sheer beauty alone.Wear boots and watch your back, it’s kind of dangerous if you aren’t being careful, Texas style.Friendly staff. Low flying planes. Nice view.

$115 minimum charge. On top of that... there was a 75$ dollar charge for the 3 tires (195 $) total. However the tires went in the same spot. No extra work on their part, so why the extra charge? Next time I think Ill just make a quick stop at one of the tent cities. Tell the them they are tire swings. Those guys leave a horrible mess and Im out 195$ for taking my stuff to the proper place to dispose of it?

I brought my van half full of Remodeling trash. Half full of my tools, last time (November) they charged $75. This time they wanted $125.00. What’s the deal. They looked at the trash in the back and I even showed her the front which my tools take up a big space in my van. No consistency, I’ll take it somewhere else for now on. They also raised there rate last July from $40 minimum to $75 minimum. No they are not cheaper than others. In fact they are more expensive than most.

I came here three months ago to drop off a few bags of trash and they charged me five extra dollars for a neon vest. Which is reasonable I suppose. The next time I came a month later there was a new minimum trash drop off fee of $40 plus the vest plus now $16 for a hardhat which I felt was over the top. I just went in there today to drop off a queen size mattress boxspring headboard and the frame for The bed. All of it fit inside the bed of my truck. So not very much. When I got there they told me it would be $30 for the mattress and $30 for the boxspring on top of that the $40 minimum drop off fee. So in total $100. Plus $16 for another hardhat. And three dollars for a plastic vest. This is a typical example of a big company taking advantage of the common blue-collar worker. These guys are crooks. Take your trash somewhere else. Youre probably going to end up paying more to dump it off then you payed for it originally. Its not even the money so much as it is the principle. What has America come to when you have to pay over a hundred dollars to drop off a mattress at the dump.

I called and told them very specifically what we needed to dump and they gave me a price of $3 per cubic yard. I showed up with exactly what I told them I had over the phone (top soil) and they charged me $20 per cubic yard. By the time we had driven all the way down there, they knew we didn’t have another option but to pay the outrageous fee. They seemed like the cheapest option, but definitely were not! When I told them they gave me a different price over the phone they were very rude.

Bring your hard hat safety goggles and safety vest if you want to even get into this place!! I had a small truckload of wood scraps to throw away and this place was listed near my house. I had learned the hard way add another location that you need to have a tarp and straps over your load so I was prepared for that. When I got here I was sorely disappointed that they would not allow me to throw away my wood scraps without a full suit of safety protection which they do not lend your rent. So that would have tacked another $25 to a already high$45 disposal charge. Texas Disposal Systems down the road doesnt require all the safety gear for a small guy like me.

If youre trying to get rid of a lot household trash and some hazardous materials this review is for you. If this review helps you click the THUMBS UP button. Thanks - May 20th 2017I rented a 20ft Uhaul - 39.99 per day / .99 per mile + fuel, I also hired a couple of guys to help me with all of this.First lesson when cleaning out a house, there is always more stuff than you estimated for. I kind of wish I rented the 24 footer same price as the 20 footer only a little bigger and a little more cumbersome to drive.One wall of my garage was full of old paint, oils and common house hold chemicals.We had around 40 bags of leaves and debris and the rest was just garbage. Total 3300lbs. Filled the truck with about 3-4 layers.Went to the Recycling and Reuse center... Heads up they only take 30 gallons. That was a really nice operation.Followed the line into a place where 2-3 people helped us out getting rid of the chemicals. - No Cost... Open 7am-12pm. Out in 10-15 minutes. Showed up there at 7:30am.Next went to Travis County Landfill...this place is only for Construction Waste not Household Waste. Make sure you have aSafety Hard Hat, Safety Glasses, and safety vest (bright orange) if not, you will have to buy one from them for anyone that will be working in the area with you. Hat = $16ish, Glasses $13ish, Vest $15ish. Open from 7am to 12 pm.Left there and went to TDS (Texas Disposal Systems) Landfill at 3016 FM 1327 Creedmoor, Texas 78610. They are open from 7am to 7pm (or sunset, whichever is earlier) on Saturday. This is awesome because its later than the 7am to 12pm most are open on Saturday. Super easy just backed up to a pit and threw the trash out the back. It was raining so the Uhaul was bonus, kept us out of the rain while we unloaded. Since I was so full, they had me weigh the truck, leave my card with them and when I came back they charged me $90 for the 3,300 lbs. What they said was anything under 4000lbs is a standard $90. Not sure how it works if you have a small truck load... maybe someone can add what that typically costs. Got there about 8:00am left around 8:45am. Early morning was a good choice.Goodwill run: Went back filled up the truck to take it to Goodwill, didnt know how much they would take. They took it all except for a black hide-a-bed couch. Salvation army took that, because it was in good condition, no stains, rips, or major damage and I had the feet and the cushions.My goals is to find out if its just better to have one of those roll away dumpsters dropped off. I dont think they mess with hazardous materials but theres a lot of work, time and money involved going the uhaul route.Remember to click the THUMBS UP button if this helped you. Have a nice day and good luck!

Just got back from the landfill. Over the past 8 years, Ive seen the price steadily climb. I only ever go in my little toyota pickup, to drop off construction waste from work i do on my property. Well, $25 has grown to $90 minimum and I will never go back. Unless I get a much bigger truck.

I’ve been coming out here for a couple of years. I’ve tried different places, but I always come back here. Yeah the prices are a little high, but I always get good fast service. The lady Veronica is the one to go to. She always has a smile and good energy!
