Dumpster Rental in Abernathy, TX

Roll-off containers for Abernathy homes and jobsites

Abernathy sits north of Lubbock on I-27 with the Hale and Lubbock county line running right through the town, which is a piece of local trivia that matters when you are trying to work out whose rules apply to a job. From our yard south of Lubbock it is a forty-five minute run: up through town, onto I-27 and off at Abernathy. It is a grain and cotton town first — the elevators along the rail line are the tallest thing for miles and they set the rhythm of the year. The housing is small-town Texas: 1940s through 1970s brick and frame on square lots, a downtown of low brick storefronts, and farmsteads scattered out on the section roads in every direction. The work follows the same split as everywhere out here. In town it is hail roofs, garage and estate clearances and the occasional remodel. Outside it is shops, sheds, barns and grain facility cleanouts.

What we know about working in Abernathy

Because the county line splits the town, we check which side of it a job sits on before anybody starts asking about permits and rules, and we would tell you to do the same. Practically, most of what we haul out of Abernathy is heavy: farm and grain facility material, old steel, timber, concrete and dirt. Weight closes a container long before volume does out here, so we size down and swap rather than send a big box that cannot legally leave. Wind on the open ground north of town is relentless and light loads need capping every time. Hail comes through this stretch of I-27 hard from March into June, and after a big cell the roofing trade books out for weeks, so getting a container on order early is worth more than getting a big one.

Getting a truck to you

North on I-27 and off at the Abernathy exits, forty-five minutes from the yard on an open run. The interstate approach is easy and the frontage roads make placement straightforward on anything near the highway. Off the pavement it is the same story as the rest of the county: caliche and dirt section roads that hold weight well dry and rut for days after a real rain, so we watch the forecast and will move a delivery a day rather than cut up your access.

Routes we run: I-27, the I-27 frontage roads, FM 597, Loop 289.

Permits, streets and placement in Abernathy

On a private driveway in Abernathy you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from TxDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Hale County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and TCEQ publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Abernathy. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lubbock County.
