Went to dump some recycling stuff with no issues at all! and the 2 guys at the door were very polite. Not sure why many bad reviews. Is very important to read and understand the RULES people are so entitled and being rude toward the employees because you don't get it your way is just ridiculous. I'm sure working outside is not an easy task.

I have used this location many times over the years. I have had zero issues. Bring a utility bill that has your name/address to match with your DL. Pretty simple I though.

Review

Went to drop off a small amount of recycling materials and was turned away because I live in Cypress - not a City of Houston resident. The employee stated COH hasn't allowed Cypress residents since 10 - 15 years ago. However I've recycled here a few other times in within the last 4 - 6 or so years. 😑 The employee acted as if I were ignorant and didn't know what I was talking about and argued that I *must* have recycled somewhere else. 🙄 I can assure it was Sommermeyer as this is the only facility I have *ever* taken recyclables to. The employee gave me the COH number but it's Sunday and I don't see how the city will be of assistance anyhow if the city/facilities aren't willing to provide the service when I drive up. There are no solutions or options for Cypress residents for the items not accepted through curbside recycling.
