Dumpster Rental in Tahoka, TX

Roll-off containers for Tahoka homes and jobsites

Tahoka is the Lynn County seat, straight south of Lubbock on US-87, and because our yard sits south of the Loop out toward Woodrow it is one of the shortest highway runs we make to a county seat — roughly forty minutes and we never touch Lubbock traffic. It is a cotton town, plainly and completely. The gins on the edge of town run hard from October into December, module trucks fill US-87, and the whole calendar bends around the crop. The town itself is a courthouse square, a few blocks of brick storefronts, streets of 1930s through 1970s houses on square lots, and farm ground beyond. Our work here is estate and family clearances in the older housing, hail roofs, remodels, and the shop and shed cleanouts that happen out on the places in the slow part of the year, which is most of what we haul out of Lynn County.

What we know about working in Tahoka

The seasonal rhythm is worth planning around. From October through December the highways and gin yards are busy enough that we schedule Tahoka deliveries and swaps early in the day, and most farm cleanouts here happen January through March anyway, once the crop is out and before planting. Hail is the other calendar — March into June, and after a big cell rolling through Lynn County every roofer in the region is booked and containers get scarce the same week. Rural addresses need the usual flags: septic lateral field, well head, gate width and turnaround. Caliche holds fine dry and ruts wet. And the wind here is completely unobstructed, so light loads get capped or they get redistributed.

Getting a truck to you

Straight south on US-87 from the yard, about forty minutes, and one of the cleanest runs we make because we are already south of the city. Through cotton harvest we set early to stay ahead of module truck traffic. Off the highway the county roads are caliche and dirt, so we ask about the last mile before we commit — gate width, cattle guards, soft spots and whether there is room to turn a loaded truck around at the end.

Routes we run: US-87, US-380, FM 1054, the Tahoka Highway.

Permits, streets and placement in Tahoka

On a private driveway in Tahoka 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 Lynn 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 Tahoka. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lubbock County.
