Permits are one of the most common sources of friction on a West Texas project. A dumpster going on a public street, a job site in a floodplain, and contaminated soil that needs classification before hauling each have different rules, and different offices handle different pieces.
Our coordinators walk customers through this every day across Midland, Odessa, and the Permian Basin. Use the form below to see what applies to your project, or call (800) 996-9862 and we'll walk you through it.
Here's the full list of credentials we operate under across Midland, Odessa, and the Permian Basin. All are current and verified through TXP Environmental's internal compliance.
State and federal authorization
Oilfield-specific credentials
For market-specific permit details, our service areas cover each city in our footprint.
Working with a credentialed hauler means the haul and disposal side of your project is documented and compliant from pickup through delivery to the disposal site. That's one fewer thing on your plate during a project that probably has plenty of other moving parts.
A handful of permit types come up most often on West Texas projects. The form above flags the ones that apply to your specific job, and our coordinators can help you identify the right office for each.
ROW permits apply when a dumpster or portable toilet sits on a public street, sidewalk, or alley rather than entirely on private property. Every city in our footprint handles these differently, but for most residential and light commercial jobs it's a quick application with the city public works office. If you haven't pulled one before, we can tell you which office to call and what they'll typically ask for.
If your project already has a building permit issued, it may cover on-site waste staging as part of the overall scope. We can help you confirm whether container placement is already included or whether you'll need a separate ROW permit on top of it.
Floodplain permits apply in designated flood-prone areas and can affect where waste containers can be staged, particularly during heavy-rain seasons. The Permian Basin has pockets of flood-prone land near playa lakes, arroyos, and low-lying industrial sites. The form above flags whether your location triggers a floodplain review.
Waste classification isn't a permit in the traditional sense, but it determines what can go in the container in the first place. Contaminated soil, sandblast material, and other non-hazardous special waste need TCLP testing before haul.
We coordinate the testing partner, set up the waste profile, and handle the haul once the material classifies. If it exceeds Class 2, we'll tell you directly and help route it to a specialized hauler who can take it.
Call (800) 996-9862 or send us your project details through our form. We'll walk through the permit questions with you and put together a quote based on your specific job.
