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
  • Flat $375 for 3 days, 2 tons included, holds 5-8 pickup loads

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.

WM Hillside Landfill

Nelson Road, Sherman, TX

Type I municipal landfill that accepts self-haul at the gate. Loads are weighed and charged at the facility's commercial rates, and loads must be tarped on the way in.

Fees

  • Minimum-load charges typically apply even to a light pickup load
  • Untarped loads can be turned away at the gate

Hours: Weekday scale hours with limited Saturday service — confirm with the facility the day before you load.

What the city program covers

  • Bulk collection runs monthly and covers about 5 cubic yards of bulk plus 2 cubic yards of brush
  • Anything past the cap waits for next month or leaves another way
  • Construction and remodel debris needs separate commercial service

What gets refused

  • Roofing shingles
  • Concrete, brick and rubble
  • Dirt and sod

Self-haul vs. a driveway bin in Sherman

Job sizeDoing it yourself16-yard roll-off
One pickup load of household junkOne round trip + minimum gate chargeOverkill — keep the truck
Garage or single-room cleanout (4-6 cu yd)2-3 trips, minimum charge each time$375 flat, load over 3 days
Roof tear-off (2-3 tons of shingles)Refused at curbside; weighed by the ton at the gate$375 with 2 tons included
Whole-house cleanout or remodel (16+ cu yd)6-8 trips plus per-ton fees$375-$415, or scheduled swaps

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.

Sherman, TX dump and dumpster questions

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.
