Landfills are a necessary component in the operation of a solid waste management program and provide for the ultimate disposal of a majority of waste generated throughout the region. Current Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations allow for two types of landfills:
Type I Landfills
waste is compacted and covered daily.
Type IV Landfills
allows disposal of brush, construction and demolition waste and/or rubbish that are free of putrescible and household wastes; coverage is required weekly.
