The City of Dallas owns McCommas Bluff Landfill, the public landfill that took the most waste in Texas on the EPA list, about 1.4 million tons in 2022. From October 1, 2026, under the rates of the city’s 2026-27 budget year, the gate rate is $45.78 a ton, up from $43.60. Customers paying for single loads by cash, check or card also pay a customer processing fee and an environmental fee of two dollars a ton each, so a walk-up customer pays $49.78 a ton in all. The city’s page prints no minimum charge for a light load, so the calculator prices it by weight; expect the weigh station at the gate to apply its own minimum if it has one. An uncovered load costs forty dollars more. The rate page gives no separate mattress price: ask the weigh station at the gate whether it takes mattresses before you go, or ask the city about bulky-item pickup. Texas has more open landfills on the EPA list than any state but California, yet few of their gate rates are published: we read Dallas and a starting price for El Paso.

McCommas Bluff Landfill
| Line of the price list | Fee |
|---|---|
| Trash, per ton | $49.78: $45.78 rate + customer processing fee $2 a ton and environmental fee $2 a ton |
The $4 in added fees is two fees of $2 a ton each, a customer processing fee and an environmental fee. They apply to customers paying for single loads at the window, which is how most residents pay. The city’s landfill page also lists the Northwest Transfer Station on Bachman Lake at a higher gate rate of $71.28 a ton, which makes McCommas Bluff the cheaper of the two city sites for the same load.
A mattress or a sofa: the city’s rate page gives no separate price for them, so the calculator counts no extra fee and says so. Ask at the weigh station whether the landfill takes mattresses, or check the city’s bulky-item pickup first. The mattress page lists the sites that do print a mattress price.

Our figure for El Paso comes from a city news release of December 2025 about new cells at the landfill, the only public statement of its fees we could read. It gives a starting price, not a schedule.
The rest of Texas
Many Texas landfills are private, and public gate rates are often not online. The fee pages of Houston and San Antonio could not be opened when we checked them, and we print no figure for them rather than one taken from a private site. The landfills by state page lists every open landfill in Texas on the EPA list, with its owner, so you can find the public one nearest you and call it.
