Ponderosa Regional Landfill

Our landfill provides the safest and most advanced waste disposal services to the region. It employs a modern liner system that includes at least 3 feet of re-compacted clay, a 60-mil high density polyethylene plastic liner, and a leachate collection system.

The site accepts municipal solid waste, industrial waste and oil and gas waste primarily from Webb, Jim Hogg, Zapata, and La Salle countines. We also accept liquid waste for stabilization and disposal. Other special waste may be accepted with prior approval from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Ponderosa includes 152 acres for natural vegetative buffers, wetlands, storm water control features, native range land, and entrance facilities. Durable roadways allow dependable entry to the site for customers even during times of inclement weather. In-bound and out-bound scales, in addition to the electronic ticketing system, are premium components of the sophisticated control systems utilized.
