Lewisville's landfill is Camelot, on Huffines Boulevard, and residents get a genuinely generous allowance: a free ton a month with proof of residency, and Republic curbside customers get two free dumps a month on top. Past that it's $45 a ton, with cheaper rates for yard waste. Here's how the free allowance works, the hours, and why the three-cubic-yard curbside limit matters before you decide to drive out at all.
Lewisville's free monthly disposal
Lewisville residents get ONE TON of free disposal per month at Camelot Landfill with proof of residency — a utility bill or driver's license.
Residents whose curbside trash provider is Republic get TWO free dumping privileges per month at Camelot.
Past the free allowance: $45.00 per ton for municipal solid waste, with reduced rates for yard waste — separate your brush and grass and it costs less.
Open Monday–Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Closed Sundays.
Before you drive out, check curbside: bulky waste is collected on your regular trash day, placed next to your cart. But bulky plus yard waste together cannot exceed 3 cubic yards on any collection day — over that, the landfill (or a special collection) is your route.
Oversized items beyond the curbside limit must be arranged directly with Republic Services, and you pay for that collection yourself.
Confirm current rates and the free-allowance rules before a big load — landfill pricing changes.
Bring a utility bill or driver's license showing a Lewisville address to claim the free monthly ton. Rates and allowances change — confirm before hauling a large load.

Curbside bulky waste — mind the 3 cubic yard cap
City Service
Bulky waste too large for your cart is collected on your regular trash day, set out next to the cart. The catch: bulky waste and yard waste COMBINED cannot exceed 3 cubic yards on any collection day. A big cleanout blows past that fast, at which point you're either making a landfill run or arranging a special collection with Republic Services at your own cost.
Yard waste is cheaper if you separate it
City Service
Camelot charges a reduced rate for yard waste versus the $45/ton municipal rate. If your load is a mix of brush and household junk, separating it before you weigh in genuinely saves money.
Usually yes. Most Texas landfills charge by weight (a per-ton gate rate) or by the load, and many cities give residents a discount or a set number of free drop-offs if you can show a current utility bill. Small transfer and collection stations sometimes take household trash for free. Exact fees are listed per facility above.
What's the difference between a landfill and a dump?
In everyday use people say "the dump," but a modern landfill is an engineered, permitted site with liners and monitoring. A transfer station is a smaller site where waste is collected and hauled to a landfill. Both take household junk; a transfer or collection station is often closer and quicker for small loads.
What's the cheapest way to get rid of junk for free?
Check whether your city offers free bulk-trash pickup on a set week, use county household-hazardous-waste and cleanup events, and give away usable items. For a landfill drop-off, bring proof of residency to get resident rates. If it's more than you can move yourself, a junk-removal quote is often cheaper than multiple trips plus gate fees.
How do I get rid of large or heavy items?
Bulky items — furniture, appliances, mattresses, construction debris — either go to the landfill (often for an extra per-item fee) or get hauled by a junk-removal service. If you'd rather not rent a truck and pay gate fees, get a quick quote and compare.
