Waste Facility

JC Elliot Collection Center

7001 Ayers St, Corpus Christi, TX 78415

(361) 857-1631

Small municipal collection point tucked into the industrial stretch off Ayers Street, mostly used by local residents hauling household trash and small loads. Neighbors swing by with pickup truck loads or trailer drops during cleanups. It feels like a practical neighborhood spot rather than a big commercial transfer station.

A single entrance with an attendant booth and a pull-up area for unloading, so expect to stop and talk to someone at the gate. There’s a scale nearby where vehicles sometimes queue; loads are weighed before leaving. Large concrete pads and roll-off bins make up the yard, and recycling bins tend to sit off to one side. Weekends, especially in spring, can get backed up with people dropping off yard waste and old furniture.

Before You Go

  • Bring straps or tarps: loose items in a truck bed can be a hassle to manage once at the unloading area.
  • Have materials separated as much as possible before getting to the booth to speed up the process when directing where to put things.
  • If towing a trailer, give yourself extra space to maneuver - the driveways and dump spots are tight compared with bigger regional facilities.
