Eh, it's a valid point. Most recycling goes straight to the landfill now. My neighborhood went through an exhaustive process including switching vendors to ensure "most" of our recycling actually gets recycled. Best bet on recycling is to take your aluminum cans to scrap metal place since they're worth about a penny each (if you don't spend more than that on gas) and throw the rest in your trash can. Then take the $4 per month that you're saving by NOT having recycling in your neighborhood and donate that money to a green charity. OP seems like he wants to actually help the environment instead of professing how woke he is. Jack Cheese seemed like he was trying to help him do that.aggiedent said:
Ah.....the classic TexAgs response. Instead of answering the question, show how smart you are by lecturing on a subject in order to show how misguided OP is and simultaneously push your narrative on a socio-political subject. Well done. Sorry OP, I don't live in Cypress or I would have been glad to answer your question.

Texas Pride. Most of the other companies said they take their stuff to the landfill if the bulk recycler refuses it, and that's pretty often since china stopped accepting most of it. Texas Pride said their stuff goes to Mexico. If they aren't lying and their bulk recycler doesn't go out of business, they are one of the only ones that actually recycles your stuff.bigjag19 said:agnerd said:Eh, it's a valid point.

Who did you switch to?
You have to be a city of houston resident to use this facility. They check your drivers license and require a utility bill to prove your address.randy828 said:
There is a recycling place off Hempstead Hwy/ Gessner (inside the Beltway). Maybe you can find another location closer to you on the website below.

I used it a year or so ago. It's a county facility or was and I did have to show I lived in county.
Worth a call tho before you go to confirm.
The OP was talking about recycling. This location has large trash bins and I think that is what they check the license for.Charlie Kelley said:Ya I would check, I took a couple truck loads from my back yard renovation last summer and they have City of Houston Resident only signs all over the placeLarry S Ross said:Charlie Kelley said:You have to be a city of houston resident to use this facility.
