For a sixth straight day, it has been a revolving door of trucks at the Hinton Landfill in Garland.
GARLAND, Texas — Landfills across North Texas are seeing a huge uptick in storm debris drop-offs. in Garland.
Hoofnagle tells WFAA the Hinton Landfill has seen almost 2,700 tons of trees and brush since last Tuesday. The landfill is also seeing about 300 trucks a day which is a lot more than the daily average of 60 trucks per day. WFAA met with Ajay Sharma who decided to take care of his debris and not use private trash haulers or wait for the city to take it away. Sharma is from Murphy and he only lost a few tree limbs and branches at his home.
Most of the brush will be ground into mulch and compost which saves room at the landfill and gives it back to the community.
