If you use the Northeast Transfer station at Fair Oaks for dumping household trash, be aware the hours of operation have changed. (Thanks to reader Cindy Engel who found out the hard way and shared with us).

The hours changed Dec. 5. Here are the current hours:

Monday-Friday – 7-9 a.m.
Saturday – 7 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Sunday – CLOSED

The dump is open to Dallas residents only, and no commercial customers are allowed.

There is no charge for Dallas residents, with a valid driver’s license, in passenger cars, station wagons, pickups, and trailers less than 15 feet long hauling their own waste from their residences to the landfill or transfer station.

Your ID must show proof of Dallas residency, or you can use a current City of Dallas water bill in the name of the person entering the facility.
