You know what they say: ‘Waste not want not.’ Well, when it comes to actual waste, Lubbock makes it super simple to make it disappear in as least amount of headaches as possible.
With that being said, let’s go through the process and what you need to know when dropping off items at the Lubbock landfill.
A Waste of Time in Lubbock
In Lubbock, the materials that are accepted at either of the two landfill sites include the following:
- Non-hazardous waste – These include bulky items, lawn clippings, etc.
- Wood – These items will be buried to slowly degrade into the Earth over time.
- Approved special waste – Some drop-offs require certain approval before they can be dumped off. These can include waste that has unique chemical characteristics, load size, or biological properties that are different than common waste.
If you are in need of disposing special waste that you know potentially includes asbestos, you should first call the Environmental Compliance Specialist at (806) 757-2151.
