Dumps, Landfills & Recycling in Marshall, Texas

Marshall doesn't have a public landfill in town. City residents have three options instead. The City Convenience Station on Five Notch Road takes furniture and household items, and it's free on the four Free Disposal Days a year. Republic Services does free bulk pickup every Thursday if you call by Tuesday. Harrison County runs seven container sites for county residents. Here's how each one works and who qualifies, so you don't drive out and get turned away.

Marshall bulk pickup — every Thursday, if you call by Tuesday

Marshall runs one of the most generous bulk programs in East Texas. Bulk pick-up runs on Thursday of every week — not twice a year, not quarterly — and it is provided at no extra cost to residential customers.

The catch is the deadline, and it's the whole thing. Nothing is picked up automatically. You must call Republic Services, the City's contracted hauler, at (903) 986-5324, and the request has to be in no later than 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday of that same week. Call Wednesday and you are waiting until the following Thursday.

What qualifies as a bulk item here:

That mattress line is worth pausing on. Longview charges $20 to take a mattress from the curb and Tyler counts it against two collections a year. Marshall takes it free, weekly, as long as you make the Tuesday call.

If you're outside the city limits, this isn't your program — it runs on City of Marshall residential service. County residents can use the Harrison County container sites instead.

Your regular garbage day depends on which side of Highway 59 you're on, and whether you're north or south of Pinecrest Drive and Highway 80. Recycling runs Wednesday for the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday routes, and rides along with garbage on Friday routes.

Compare the rest in our guide to bulk trash pickup — weekly and free puts Marshall near the top of everything we've surveyed in Texas.

Common questions

Does it cost anything to dump at a landfill?
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, check an upfront junk-removal price.
