Absolutely love this community service Selena and the staff that operate it. My husband and I have been coming here to drop off our recyclables for 10 months now. It’s a huge blessing to have it in our neighborhood. Easy to schedule even when closed I’ll leave a message about scheduling an appt and Selena is fast to get back to me. It’s a pleasure getting to know the staff and Selena is very welcoming. They make recycling easy!

I Am Looking For A Place To Bring The Boxes & Plastics I Have Been Hoarding For Months Because They Need To Be Recycled. There Is No Recycling Program Where I Live In Aldine. I Do Not Have A Car So I Am Never Able To Properly Dispose Of The Boxes Plastics Paper Bags Etc. I Am Moving & Finally Because I Have A Uhaul I Am Planning To Take The Items To The Reclycling Center. It Is Bad Enough That This Riduculous State Does Not Understand The Meaning Of Conservancy & Environmental Stewardship But To Come To This Website & Be Bombarded With One Million Rules On What Will Stop You From Recycling & The Questionable Level Of Identity Verification & Appointment Setting Required To Do So Is Absolutely Discouraging. It Feels As Though It's Not That Texas Does Not Have Programs To Recycle & To Do Good Things. They Just Make It So Complicated That Just Throwing Your Trash & Deadly Chemicals Into The Bayou Is Just A Whole Lot Easier & Less Of A Hassle. At Least For Another 250 Years Or So (Since We Live In Merica & All). People Have Different Situations Just Take A Valid Identification & Keep It Moving... Goodness. Let's All Keep Moving. They Did Not Even Answer The Phone. It's Before 5PM & On A Weekday. What More Is There To Say?
