Charter Waste on West Murphy Street is privately run by Republic Services, and that shapes everything about planning a trip. Gate rates are commercial and are not published anywhere the public can read them, so the only reliable figure is the one you get by telephoning 432-381-6726 before loading the truck.
We have deliberately removed the per-ton estimate this page used to carry. It traced back to a newspaper article from 2021 rather than to the facility, and a five-year-old secondhand number is worse than no number when someone is budgeting a trip.
Where you live decides whether you need this site at all. Anyone inside Odessa city limits has a free alternative: the Keep Odessa Beautiful Facility at 814 West 42nd Street takes bulky household items at no cost. That site was previously signposted as the Recycling Center and the Citizen Bulk Drop Off, and the household hazardous waste facility shares the address.
The catch is strict. That free service is available only to those living within the city boundary. Ector County residents outside the line are turned away from it and have no municipal option, which is precisely why they end up here paying per ton.
So the practical sequence is short. City resident with a sofa or a fridge: use 42nd Street. County resident, or carrying anything the city site refuses: ring the landfill, get a quote, then drive.
Do not set out without that phone call.
