For household trash, Harris County residents can use WM's Atascocita Landfill, 3623 Wilson Road in Humble, weekdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., for a fee. City of Houston residents can also take bulky items, tree waste and recycling free to six Neighborhood Depositories, but those don't take household garbage.
Below that, every permitted disposal site in the county from TCEQ records: 3 landfills, 10 construction-debris landfills, 22 transfer stations, 58 recycling sites and 24 compost sites. Not all of them take waste from the public, so call ahead.
Atascocita doesn't publish its rates, so call (281) 446-6545 for a price. The depositories are for City of Houston residents with proof of address, up to four visits a month. More on our Houston page.
