Active Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in Texas
Active Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in Texas
Type I landfills are authorized to accept all types of municipal solid waste. Type IV
landfills may only accept brush, construction and demolition debris, and rubbish.
Type IV landfills may not accept putrescible wastes, conditionally exempt small-
quantity generator waste, or household wastes.
Landfills with the designation “AE” in the landfill type are “arid exempt” facilities. AE
landfills normally are limited in the amount of waste they are authorized to accept
during a year. However, in disaster situations, AE landfills may obtain authorization
from the TCEQ to accept amounts greater than the annual limit.
The following table lists active municipal solid waste landfills by county. Use the
TCEQ’s Municipal Solid Waste Viewer <www.tceq.texas.gov/gis/msw-viewer> to
find the location and information about a specific landfill. Additional information
about each landfill is available in the TCEQ’s Central Registry system
<www.tceq.texas.gov/goto/centralregistry> using the facility’s Permit No. in the
Program ID field of the search form, and selecting Municipal Solid Waste Disposal in
the Program field.
