A down-to-earth solid waste drop-off on Kirkpatrick Boulevard that neighborhood folks use for regular trash, yard clippings, and some recycling. Locals bring pickup loads and trailers here when curbside pickup won't cut it. The site handles a mix of household materials and bulk items, typical for a city facility in Houston.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to slow down - there’s usually a scale to cross, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. The property is big enough for trucks and trailers, with piles and roll-off bins visible from the road; traffic and lines can back up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups. Recycling or yard-waste containers are often off to one side, while general trash areas sit beyond the initial drop-off. Bring something to cover loose loads and have materials separated as much as possible to make the drop-off faster.
