The compost comes from the City of Wichita Falls, diverting reusable waste, such as organic collections, from the city's landfill. Organic collections are offered to both commercial and residential customers and can accept grass, leaves, branches, papers, cardboard, wood, chipboard, and food waste. This recycling saves money, is environmentally friendly, and creates nutrient-rich compost.
Each customer is limited to one pickup truck or 4×8 trailer load. To pick up the compost, residents must provide a City of Wichita Falls water bill showing the $3.00 recycling program charge.
The law requires loads to be covered to ensure no debris will be blown onto the roadways. Dump trucks, commercial vehicles, or oversized trailers may not be loaded.
Those interested in purchasing compost for commercial operation can contact the Wichita Falls Landfill at 940-631-8274.
Landfill Address: 10984 Wiley Road, Wichita Falls, Texas 76307
Directions to the landfill: • Take Seymour Highway Southwest toward Seymour on Highway 258.• At the Kamay 'Y,' proceed West on Highway 258 toward Kamay. • Travel approximately one mile to Wiley Road and turn right (North). • Remain on Wiley Road for two miles. The entrance to the landfill is located on the left.
