Fees for Dumping

Dumping fees vary depending on the type and quantity of waste you bring. Here’s a breakdown of the fees:

• Transfer Station Fees: $65 per ton, one-ton minimum charge (plus sales tax). An additional $150 surcharge applies to loads containing roofing shingles (plus sales tax).
• Landfill Fees: $48 per ton, one-ton minimum charge. Additional charges may apply for tires, roofing shingles, and pull-off fees.

Special Considerations

• Commercial Solid Waste (CSW) Accounts: Businesses and contractors who generate large amounts of waste may consider opening a CSW account. This account requires a minimum $500 monthly charge and offers certain benefits, such as reduced fees and extended hours.
• Hazardous Waste: Hazardous waste, such as batteries, paint, and chemicals, cannot be disposed of at Citizen Convenience Centers. Residents should contact the City of Plano’s Environmental Services Department for proper disposal options.
• Bulky Waste Collection: Plano offers a bulky waste collection service for items that are too large or heavy to fit in regular trash cans. This service is available to residents twice per month and requires a fee.
