They're doing it again on the 23rd.
Thanks for sharing!
Bump. I notice that cooking oil is accepted, which is great! Fats, oils and grease (aka "FOG") should never be put down the drain but it happens often, and leads to sewer clogs and backups. So collect your oil in containers and bring it to HHW! Grease, if it's solidified, can go in the trash. Proper disposal of HHW protects sanitation workers, protects the landfill, and protects our waterways.
Today till 2!
How are the lines? Is there a long wait?
Went @ 10:30. No line. In and out quick.
We dove through about 10:00 - no lines… super fast and easy! Great Job!
Thanks! There was still no line when we went through at 1pm.
Bump.
Actually it's two Saturdays from now but I thought I'd bump it early.
Anybody know if they'll take old fireworks? I doubt it??
My guess is no but you could call and ask

You can contact the college station police and make a request with the bomb squad. It gives them something to blow up.
Will they let me watch?
Doubt it. But people contact them to destroy old ammunition and they destroy any fireworks collected by patrol officers around the 4th and new years.
Lame
Will they take bourbon bottles that have somehow gotten some water in them while they sat in the liquor cabinet at casa trouble?
My kids aren't big enough for those tricks yet
Will they accept window air conditioners? I have two that I need to dispove of.
Not unless you can prove they don't have freon

Just punch holes in the Freon lines…. That'll show 'em
Where on Harvey is this ?
Near Veterans Park. Just head down Harvey and you won't miss it.
Freon is made of stuff found on the periodic table. You just want to return it to nature and hope it breaks down into a simpler form, correct?
How often do they do this?
Twice a year, April and October.JimboFFisher said:

And October approaches.
Whoa, no medication accepted this fall! There always seemed to be a decent number of people dropping that off.
This statement pops up when you visit the landfill's website:spike427 said:
