Waste Management
Reliable truck scale systems for landfills, transfer stations, and hauling operations.
Scale Solutions for Waste Management
North Texas Scales installs and services truck scales for landfills, transfer stations, and hauling operations across Texas — including unattended weighing systems with RFID identification, automatic tare lookup, and self-service kiosks that reduce scale house staffing. Every system is NTEP certified and backed by 24/7 emergency service.
Waste management operations depend on accurate truck scale weighing for tipping fee calculation, route efficiency tracking, diversion reporting, and regulatory compliance. North Texas Scales provides the rugged, reliable weighing infrastructure that landfills, transfer stations, and hauling companies need to operate profitably.
Our truck scale systems are designed for the high-traffic, high-impact conditions of waste facilities — where every truck that crosses the scale represents revenue. We provide unattended weighing options, RFID integration, and software connectivity to streamline operations and reduce staffing costs.
Weighing Applications
Waste facilities use our systems for gross, tare, and net weighing that drives per-ton tipping fees at landfills and transfer stations, collection route tracking and overload identification, diversion-rate and environmental compliance reporting, and unattended self-service weighing with RFID identification and printed tickets.

How a North Texas landfill automated its weighbridge
A municipal landfill north of Fort Worth was spending $120,000/year on scale house staffing for a single truck scale. North Texas Scales installed an unattended weighing system with RFID vehicle identification, automatic tare lookup, and a self-service kiosk with a thermal printer. The landfill reduced scale house staffing from 3 operators to 1 supervisor, saving over $80,000/year while increasing throughput by 40%.
