Neighborhood Depository and Recycling Centers' Hours Change Due To End Of Daylight Saving Time

Beginning Sunday, November 6, 2011, the City of Houston Solid Waste Management Department will be changing hours of operation at all six neighborhood depositories (heavy trash and recycling drop-off sites). Due to the end of daylight saving time, the locations listed below will be open five days a week, Wednesday through Sunday, except holidays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Citizens are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to allow adequate time to unload.

Houston residents may utilize these Solid Waste Management Department neighborhood depository and recycling centers to dispose of their heavy trash. Each user must provide proof of residency, including a Texas Driver License or ID, a current utility bill or city property tax receipt.

The sites also serve as recycling drop-off facilities which accept paper, glass bottles and jars, corrugated cardboard, aluminum and tin cans and plastics 1-5 and 7.
