FillIQ · Texas intelligence
Data & frequently asked questions
Understand the source, coverage, and limits of the reported figures.
What is FillIQ?
FillIQ is a neutral intelligence tool for exploring Texas facility registry records and FY2024 disposal-capacity data. It is not affiliated with TCEQ.
Where does the data come from?
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) municipal solid waste data, FY2024, held in the existing FillIQ tables. Capacity figures come from FLQ_Capacity_Snapshots; statewide published statistics come from FLQ_Derived_Stats.
Why are there more registry facilities than capacity snapshots?
The base contains 1,869 registry records across facility types and statuses, and 206 FY2024 capacity snapshots. A registry entry does not imply an active reporting landfill or a capacity estimate.
How should I interpret capacity years?
Capacity years are historical figures as reported to TCEQ, FY2024. They are not a prediction of closure, a current capacity measurement, or a guarantee of future acceptance.
Why does the statewide figure use 51 years?
The statewide remaining capacity of 51 years is the TCEQ published figure, as reported to TCEQ, FY2024. It is preserved rather than replaced by a recomputed ratio.
How is disposal rounded on the home page?
Sum of the 206 facility-table rows as printed. AS-187/25 prints a statewide total of 41,321,494 — 4 tons above the sum of its own printed facility rows (source rounding); the recomputed sum is published.
How are missing capacity values handled?
Missing values are shown as “Not reported”, never as zero. County summaries sum available snapshots by matching facility permit numbers to registry counties.
What does the calculator estimate?
An entered amount divided by reported remaining capacity in the same unit, expressed as a percentage. Results are estimates from reported data, as reported to TCEQ, FY2024. No unit conversion, growth model, or forecast is used.
Can I buy a plan here?
