There set up is awesome after you get it 😂. Drivers always scale first ....turn into the first drive where scales are get on scale and to your left is a little metal speaker box. They will ask for pick up # and then trailer # and then you make 3 right turns back out of the facility to the front of the facility where you'll wait for someone to direct you to your next move! Very clean and organized place very impressed!!! 3/18/25 13:11

Probably one of the best recycling centers in Texas. Clean facilities and courteous staff. Directions from Google are pretty clear. Turn into the first entrance and pull directly on the scale to weigh in with your pickup or delivery info. Scalemaster will direct you to a dock or to the staging area out front. Loader will come and get you when he or she is ready for you. Once docked remove red airlins and chock wheels and slide tandems. Loaded will greenlight you when done. Scale back out and your done. Lady at the office is nice and communicates clearly. Not many places to park. 7 eleven beside the club at intersection. No other food for next 2 or 3 miles.

Got a dock immediately I arrived and loaded me up fairly quickly. It just gets busy with all the trucks weighing in. Other than that I had a great experience.
