Kaufman Trash & Recycle Center is the local recycling drop-off in Kaufman, Texas, used by residents and small businesses hauling recyclables from around town. A modest-sized recycling center that focuses on keeping paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and metals out of the landfill.
Pull into the lot at 400 Alton St and you'll see an entrance booth with lanes for vehicles and trailers. The recycling bins are grouped in open bays a short drive past the booth, with larger roll-off containers for bulk items. Expect to scale back out the same way you came in if there’s a weigh scale or attendant booth; traffic can back up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. Electronic items and yard material are commonly handled at places like this, and some centers run occasional special collection events for things like e-waste or tires.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items sorted by type-cardboard stacked flat, cans and bottles grouped-so unloading goes faster and lines move quicker.
- Have a tarp or straps ready if hauling in a pickup or trailer; loose loads can be messy and take extra time to transfer.
- Avoid peak weekend hours if possible; midweek mornings tend to be less crowded and make backing trailers into bays easier.
