Something wrong here?

Why use it

The monthly kerbside collection will not take any of this, and neither will the transfer stations, which refuse "chemicals, paint, and other hazardous waste" outright. So this is the route. It is free for Dallas residents and costs everyone else a minimum of $95 unless their own city is part of the county network, worth ringing 214-553-1765 to check before driving. Bring proof of your address. They take computers and phones but explicitly no appliances, televisions or microwaves; those go to the landfill or a transfer station instead. Nothing in a container over five gallons.

Good for

  • hazardous waste
  • paint
  • batteries
  • electronics
  • other items

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
