Recycling Center

Sommermeyer Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center

14400 Sommermeyer St, Houston, TX 77041

(713) 837-0311

A neighborhood recycling center on Sommermeyer Street that sees a mix of homeowners and small business drop-offs. People bring cardboard, glass, metal, plastics and often electronics or yard debris to keep that stuff out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place locals use when a blue-cart just won’t hold everything.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly - there’s often a scale and traffic flow control. The recycling bins and containers sit out in a fairly open yard with trucks and roll-offs nearby; larger items go to different piles. Weekends and spring cleanup days get backed up, so lines can form and unloading takes longer than a quick run to the curb. Pull-up spots for cars and small trailers are available, but maneuvering big trucks can feel tight.

Before You Go

  • Flatten boxes and bundle materials if possible to speed unloading and save space for the next person.
  • Bring something to cover loose, dusty loads; windy days scatter lightweight debris and make cleanups take longer.
  • Plan for a little extra time on weekend mornings or neighborhood cleanup events - the line will likely move slowly.
