Where to dump trash in Sherman, TX: landfill fees, city limits and the cheaper option
Sherman has two realistic ways to get debris off your property without a roll-off: the city's monthly bulk and brush collection, or a self-haul trip to WM Hillside Landfill off Nelson Road. Both have hard limits, and the second one charges by weight. Here is what each actually covers, what gets refused, and the point where a flat $375 driveway bin is the cheaper move.
The short answer
City bulk pickup: 5 cu yd of bulk plus 2 cu yd of brush per month
Shingles, concrete, dirt and rubble are excluded from curbside
Hillside Landfill weighs your load and applies a minimum charge
Where Sherman debris can go — fees, access and hours
Gate rates and hours change, so every entry links its source. Call the facility the day before you load a trailer.

The number that catches people in Sherman is the minimum-load charge. A half-full bed pays close to what a full one does, so six light trips can cost more than one flat $375 rental — and you still spend a weekend driving Nelson Road instead of working.
We're family-run out of Honey Grove and deliver 16-yard roll-offs across Grayson County — usually same or next day. Flat $375 for 3 days, delivery, pickup and 2 tons of disposal included. The bin is low-walled and driveway-sized, so you walk debris in instead of lifting it over your tailgate.
Does Sherman take shingles or concrete at the curb?
No. Sherman's bulk and brush program excludes shingles, concrete, dirt and rubble, so roof and demolition debris has to go to a weighed landfill or into a roll-off. That's the most common reason people in Sherman end up renting.
How much does WM Hillside Landfill charge for a pickup load?
It's priced by weight at the gate, with a minimum-load charge that applies even to a light load. WM doesn't publish a fixed residential rate, so call the facility for the current per-ton price before you drive out. Loads must be tarped.
How many pickup loads fit in a 16-yard dumpster in Sherman?
About five to eight. A standard 6-foot pickup bed holds roughly 2 cubic yards heaped, and a 16-yard roll-off holds about 16 cubic yards. The walls are low enough to walk debris in without a ladder, and it fits in a normal Sherman driveway.
What does a dumpster cost in Sherman instead of hauling it myself?
Flat $375 for 3 days on a 16-yard bin, which includes delivery, pickup and 2 tons of disposal. One day is $300 and 7 days is $415. No fuel surcharge, no per-yard gate fee, no extra trips. Call or text 903-449-2818 to check today's availability in Sherman.
