Landfill run in Guadalupe County, TX

Every junk removal ad shows the truck pulling away. This is the next hour. The trailer backs onto the working face at the county landfill, the bed goes up, the load comes out, and a second truck waits behind for its turn on the same pad.

It matters because it is the part a customer is really paying for. Loading is labor. Disposal is a scale ticket, a fee by weight, and a drive that is often longer than the drive to the job. Anybody who quotes a haul without accounting for it is quoting half the work.

The photos carry the same date as a San Marcos property management trash out and an apartment trash out. Same trailer, same day, one trip to the scale at the end of it.

Your property does not end up on a back road

Illegal dumping is a real problem in the Hill Country and along the I-35 corridor, and the person on the paperwork is the person whose stuff it was. A load that goes through a scale house has a ticket attached to it.

Some things cannot go in the trailer

Paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, tires, batteries and pressurized cylinders are handled differently and are not taken as regular junk. Say what you have on the call and it gets routed correctly instead of turned away at the gate.

Weight is the real cost driver

A trailer of couches and boxes is bulky and light. A trailer of tile, shingles or concrete is small and heavy. That is why construction debris and a garage cleanout are different jobs even when the pile looks the same size.
