City of Waco Cobbs Recycling Center is a local recycling drop-off on N 44th Street used mostly by Waco residents and small haulers. It’s the kind of place people bring cardboard, cans and other recyclables when curbside won’t do. Shows up as a practical spot rather than anything fancy.
Pull into the lot off 2021 N 44th St and look for an entrance area with a booth and lanes leading to different drop-off points. There are open bays and large bins where people unload cardboard, paper, plastic containers, glass and metals; things are usually separated by material. Weekends, especially during neighborhood cleanups, can have a line to get in so expect some waiting then. The site is mostly concrete and gravel, with forklifts or roll-off trucks moving around at times, so watch for traffic inside the property.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort cardboard, mixed paper, plastics and metals into separate piles in the vehicle to speed unloading.
- Bring gloves and boxes or straps - loose bags can be messy and heavy items are easier to handle with a helper.
- Try to go early on a weekday if possible; weekends and spring cleanup times get the longest lines.
