The Beaumont Municipal Landfill, 5895 Lafin Drive, is open weekdays 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. It's free for Beaumont residents who pay for city garbage service and haul from their own home; contractors and businesses are charged. Call (409) 842-5686 to confirm hours, since the City sets them administratively.
Below that, every permitted disposal site in the county from TCEQ records: 3 landfills, 1 transfer station and 2 recycling sites. Not all of them take waste from the public, so call ahead.
