Updated October 2026. Landfill rules and hours can change, so call ahead before you load up.
The Amarillo landfill is the City of Amarillo’s municipal landfill, and it’s where most of the city’s trash, bulk items and construction debris ends up. Most people simply call it the Amarillo dump or the City of Amarillo dump. If you’re searching for the landfill in Amarillo, TX, this is the one.
This guide covers what you need before a dump run: where it is, when it’s open, what’s free, what costs money, and when it makes more sense to have someone haul it for you.

The last load is accepted at the scale house at 4:30 PM. The landfill can close on short notice because of weather or operational issues, so call the status line at (806) 359-2056 before heading out.
Older websites still list the previous seasonal schedule with later summer closing times. That schedule no longer applies.
The city’s announcements don’t list current dollar amounts, so ask at the scale house or call ahead for current fees, and ask what proof of Amarillo residency to bring for free household disposal.
Some items need special handling instead of the regular landfill:
For branches, brush and grass, you may not need the landfill at all. The City of Amarillo runs free brush sites for residents at 3401 Broadway and 3718 S Eastern. They’re open limited days and morning hours, and residents need an ID or a current utility bill. Check the current schedule before you go. More in our guide to City of Amarillo tree limb pickup.
Before driving to the Amarillo landfill, check whether city collection can take it. Bulky household items can often be scheduled for curbside bulk pickup, within the city’s rules on size, type and placement. See what the City of Amarillo bulk trash pickup takes.
In mid-May 2026, a fire that began at the City of Amarillo landfill on Bezner, known locally as the “Stinky Fire”, spread under high winds into surrounding areas of Potter County. Local reports put the burned area at about 2,335 acres, with dozens of homes destroyed or damaged, before the fire was fully contained on May 21. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) conducted air monitoring afterward and reported no air-quality concerns. The city council approved an outside evaluation of landfill operations, and state and city reviews were still under way in mid-2026. The landfill’s new year-round hours were announced in August 2026.

The free household-waste disposal described here is for City of Amarillo residents. If you live in Canyon or elsewhere in Randall or Potter County outside city limits, disposal sites, hours and fees are set by your city or county. Check with the City of Canyon or your county before loading up.
