Good site for mixed recyclables. Small bits of broken glass on driveway to be expected that is typical where dump trucks pick up the load weekly.

It's so nice for the City of Richardson to provide this drop off center. It is very well used. Most the times the bins are full but if you break down your boxes properly you can usually squeeze them in. Or just be a bad neighbor and roll up and throw on the ground.

The dumpsters were very full but we were able to drop off our cardboard without much trouble. We saw what looked like a business with a truck and a trailer bring up a bunch of big boxes some with packing peanuts falling out of them just pull up drop the boxes next to the containers and take off. Not sure how we keep that from happening. Not breaking down boxes is part of why these dumpsters are so full.
