But there is only one way in and one way out. That means you have to wait for the trucks at household dump to be cleared before you can move forward. Yikes. On a Saturday afternoon right after the new year, I finished my plastic and paper recycling. Then, proceeded to exit. But the one and only line has not moved for 30 minutes. Because there were only 4 stalls for household recycling. I saw another way below the ramp to household recycling. But it says do not enter. They should have another person direct traffic to ease our pain.

Even before the pandemic, it was organized and easy to navigate. One just drives up, shares zip code (while masked), and shares what you're hoping to recycle. The helpful and kind staff tells you which bin and how to place it in the container. It can seem overwhelming the first time, but once you've been there more than once, you'll get an idea of all that can be recycled i.e. trees, furniture (but call to ask what kind), oil, cardboard, glass, aluminum, etc (check their website to be sure). *Be sure to bring an gas or water bill with you to verify residence* It's usually a fast and efficient trip. I don't know about you, but once I get rid of something I have been wanting to get rid of for a while, I feel relieved. I always leave this place feeling relieved. Thank goodness this place exists.

Thankful the city has this service for us to drop off recycling…read more They want you to wear your mask when driving through and then 1/2 the times I go they take my temperature but the other 1/2 they don't. I think it depends who is working that day. They will take everything out of my trunk and THEN take my temperature... it kind of doesn't make sense. What would they have done if after taking my recycling out, my temp is high? Would they then grab it all from the bins and put it back in my car? Why not just let me keep my window closed the whole time that way we just don't make contact at all? Minus 1 star for hours. 8-5 Monday to Saturday basically means I can only make on Saturdays if I don't have to work that Saturday. Would be nice if they'd open a bit earlier in the morning or have bins outside to drop of basic recycling items like plastic and cans.

After reading this review…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz/recyclexpress-houston#hrid:pTPRUS6wyJpHxUc-0vusfA) that incorrectly chastises Houston for not having a curbside recycling program, I decided that I should write a review for what is possibly one of the best curbside recycling programs in Texas. For the past 10 to 12 years, we have been putting out our little green bin full of 1-5 plastics, newspapers, and glass bottles out on the curb every other week. And faithfully, a big truck comes up our curb, and two men depart from either side of the rear, and pick up our bins and take our recyclables. It runs like clockwork. This year, 2009, we were upgraded to the large rolling bins, that are the same size as our regular trashcans. The upgraded cans came with an upgraded recycle-pickup-truck; I noticed that the side of the big green vehicle had the words "HYDRAULIC/HYBRID" ! On top of running like clockwork, there is an incentive program for recycling. City of Houston has partnered with www.recyclebank.com, so now, every time you put out green bin, the truck scans it, and you get points added to your account automatically. The points are redeemable for coupons, magazines, and even gift cards to stores like iTunes, Barnes and Nobles, and Amazon.com. If by some anomaly the City of Houston has decided that you are not worthy of a curbside pick up these past 12 years... you should get some kind of petition going in your neighborhood and ASK FOR IT! However, considering that we've been enjoying the curbside pickup for well over 10 years, I'm guessing that maybe those who don't have it don't actually live in Houston. I'm sorry, but if you decide you're too good for the city and live in Sugar Land, Conroe, Cy-Fair, the Woodlands, or even West University or Bellaire, then DON'T COMPLAIN about the city services. Long live the Houston Curbside Recycling Program!

I drove up and waited at the stop sign until I was motioned into the drive through indoor facility. There are professional staff here to remove your recycling. Then they put everything into large separate containers. I was impressed with this operation. I was sent here with some items that the Westpark location wouldn't take. The list of items that they take is impressive - see below. I love that I never have to get out of my car or lift a single thing. Definitely a great place to drive through.
