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.

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.

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.

Booking
Needs reports
No appointment needed.
The page gives opening hours for a drop-off centre but never states whether an appointment is needed or possible. A "no appointment needed" line, or a booking form, would settle it.
