Weimar sits on the Colorado County stretch of I-10 between Houston and San Antonio, and the transfer station on East St. Charles Street is the closest staffed disposal point for a wide band of small towns either side of the interstate. Texas Disposal Systems runs it as a transfer facility rather than a landfill: waste is tipped, consolidated and trucked onward, which is why pricing here turns on how tightly your load is packed.

That distinction matters at the scale. Loose, uncompacted waste is charged at $72.08 a ton. Anything already compacted — a load out of a compactor truck or a densely packed trailer — jumps to $125.00 a ton. Both carry the same $45.00 floor, so a small load is billed at $45.00 regardless of what the scale says. Households bringing a single pickup load should expect to pay the minimum rather than a weighed figure.

Scrap metal is taken at no charge, which makes the trip worth it if you are clearing out appliances, fencing wire or old machinery. Recycling is priced separately: anything from one pound up to 250 pounds costs a flat $11.00, and beyond that it is $60.00 a ton. Weimar also sells pre-purchased bag stickers at $35.00, though you must buy at least five at a time.

Several items attract a surcharge on top of the tonnage. Appliances without freon, along with microwaves and dishwashers, are $45.00 each. Mattresses, box springs and sofas are $40.00 apiece and a sofa sleeper doubles that to $80.00. If staff have to unload for you the pull-off fee is $40.00. Telephone poles, railroad ties, liquids and paints, batteries and hazardous materials are turned away outright. The gate runs from 6:30 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon on weekdays, with a short Saturday window between 7 and 11, and nothing at all on Sunday. Sales tax applies to everything.
