Don’t go tarpless: The operator of any vehicle arriving at the Hinton Landfill, wood recycling center, or Garland’s Transfer Station which does not have a suitable cover placed over the vehicle’s load, shall pay a surcharge of $20 per city of Garland Code of Ordinances, Chapter 52, Article II, Sec. 52.47(F). The facilities sell tarps for $10 each, but covering and securing load from the beginning of your trip will be more effective at preventing litter.
