Why Choose Our Houston Disposal Sites
We operate our transfer stations with you in mind. Take a look at the reasons why commercial and residential customers throughout our city rely on Gainsborough Waste to handle their project’s waste needs.
No Wait Times, Maximum Efficiency
Time equals money, especially in construction and contracting work. Our disposal sites eliminate 30 minutes of waiting you commonly find at traditional landfills. Instead, our customers typically complete their solid waste drop-offs in just a few minutes, allowing for increased productivity throughout your workday.
100% Paved Concrete Surfaces
Muddy boots and dirty trucks are problems of the past. Both of our locations feature fully paved concrete surfaces, ensuring clean conditions regardless of the weather. This means less cleanup time for vehicles and equipment after disposal visits.

Both facilities offer convenient access from major Houston highways, including I-10, 610, and I-69. This strategic positioning reduces travel time from job sites across the Greater Houston area.
Transparent Pricing Structure
Our disposal sites operate on straightforward, volume-based pricing that eliminates surprises. We charge $15 per cubic yard for most materials, with roofing materials subject to higher rates due to disposal requirements.
Load Size Options:
- Small loads (pickup truck beds): Ideal for household cleanouts and small renovation projects.
- Large loads (12′, 14′, and 16′ trailers): Suitable for construction, renovation, and landscaping projects.
Accepted Payment Methods:
