Harker Heights Drop off Center and Recycling Facility in
Harker Heights (TX)

Mr. Nate was very helpful.

Nate Always Helps With Everything I Need. He See's I Have Two Prosthetic Feet And He Always Tells Me To Be Careful. Great Service Out There And Workers That Help.

The older gentleman that works the center is great. When I go to the recycle center he helps me if I’m struggling with heavy objects and has a great sense of humor.

This facility employs some of the best people. They're always professional and courteous, plus very knowledgeable in their field. The yard is looking especially good right now. We appreciate everything they do!

Easy in and out. Staff is great. Never to crowded but the entrance/exit is a little narrow.

I really like the person there really nice always makes me laugh.very organized n informative.

I think run a tight ship! Organized and staff are helpful. I give them a Gold Medal!

Just went with my dad to drop off a carpet and the gentleman working the gate told me we couldnt drop off because they close at 4:40. Time: 4:43. He told us to turn around and leave. I let him know the hours online and on the sign, 4:50. He preceded to tell me for 5 minutes that I couldn't drop off 1 carpet because he can't work past 5 o'clock and that he doesn't get paid to work off the clock. It was 4:47 at this point. I reminded him that he was on the clock and that the carpet should take 30 seconds to drop. He continued to argue that he doesn't work for free. I let him know that if he would let us drop the carpet this conversation is a mute point. He finally did his job and we were out by 4:49. Do better, and whoever is his supervisor please remind him his hours or change yours online and on your sign.

What a kind and lovely attendant. It was easy, he was helpful, and as someone with anxiety, it was not over complicated or intimidating. As a woman alone, I was treated with respect and helped appropriately. 10/10

Unfair to Harker Heights residents that you don't allow individuals in the local Harker Heights mobile home parks to utilize the services like the standard residential residents do. Was told it's due to a $1 fee that regular residential HH residents get charged but residents in the local mobile home parks don't pay that fee so we do not get to use the landfill at this location. Mobile home park residents are not allowed as of Summer 2023 to use this landfill and have to pay to dump elsewhere within the county. Was informed that they consider the mobile home parks as commercial property, leaving an inconvenience to those who live in a local mobile home park & the park's managers don't allow you to even leave bulk items out or in the large commercial dumpster they have on site for their use only. Most ridiculous policy yet! Nathan needs to retire already!

The drop off center is great and free. People can stop placing large items, tree trimmings and cardboard on the curb. The city staff are friendly and don't mind lending a hand to those who need a boost reaching the bins. There's no charge for residents,just drive through and drop. During the warmer months you can get free mulch there. This is a great way to help residents keep their neighborhoods clean without charging them to do so.

This is not my favorite place!!! Some workers just require you to state your address, therefore, I thought that was sufficient. To my surprise, I get a worker that requires me to present a paper bill to confirm my address. I had a truck loaded to the brim with trash. He wouldn't let me pass with a warning and required me to go home to get my bill and come back; in which I did, I stayed 15 minutes away. I returned in 30 minutes with it, it was just an inconvenience and took away time I had alotted for cleaning my garage. As a result, I keep a billing statement in my glove department so that I can freely recycle and dispose of my bulk trash appropriately without having to first locate a billing statement to confirm the address that is already on my drivers license. I already have to find someone to help load and unload my vehicle. I don't need to take their whole day everytime I have to deal with this place. Additionally, again I found out the hard way...if you go after 2:00pm on any day you are taking a chance on them turning you away because they are full. Again, I had car full loaded to the top and with a helper on board but they were full so back home I went to have the helper then unload my car and put the trash back into my garage. So, I go early with a billing statement to limit the headaches. 🙄

Professional personnel and extremely helpful. Very easy to use their services. Just bring an ID and proof of residency.

Hours are not accurate. Four different times on days and open times, I've have to find a different landfill to empty my truck because the gate was locked.

There are no steps to the top of the trash bin, you have to throw your bags up from the side up to 6 feet high to get it over the top. Luckily my bags weren't to heavy, but it was still great the worker there helped me. Thank you to him, that was above & beyond his job description. It was appreciated. So glad we have a dump site. It comes in handy on days you clean out the garage & etc.

Well ran, as clean as it can be all things considered. Seems well organized. Employees are helpful. I wish it was not a dirt lot but makes sense for being the dump I guess. This is great to have nearby for free! This is a huge asset that many have to pay for, often by item. I don't utilize it much but glad it's there for when I do and if I do need it.

This is a great place to get rid of any type of trash; from old appliances to tree limbs. I just cut down all the long tree limbs around the house and yard. I rented a uhaul trailer to dumb the limbs, which took two trips to the dumb. The guys running the area are very nice and always upbeat and the drop-off areas are huge and easily accessible. They're were about six or seven people dropping off tree limbs and grass and we all had space to unload everything. I've also taken other trash such as old appliances and it was just as easy. You have to be able to lift most of the metal trash over your head and in the separate trash bins, so be prepared for that.

The Harker Heights solid waste disposal site is the cleanest and most organized dump I have ever seen! Friendly helpful staff and the entire process is finished in no time flat. Kudos to all!

So happy we have a drop off collection in our city. The staff is great and will assist you with those really heavy items. They also have a grease collection for your used cooking oil.

Within minutes of home. More space than my garage and back yard. Excellent atandants! Professional staff. Extremely organized and thoughtful. I recommend this location for all your refuse needs.

I feel good about saving my recyclables and the way they mulch our cut trees to use locally is awesome. This is a great community service!

The guys are very polite and helpful. The place is run very efficiently usually I can get in and out in no time!

This recycling facility is one of the worst I have encountered. There are not enough bins and the hours make drop off difficult for working people. Half the time I come here (usually Saturday) the bins are full before 10:00am. Then I return home with my trunk full of recyclables to find that my neighbors recycling has blown out of their trash cans into my yard. The city does not do a great job with code enforcement so trash in the yard is also a regular occurrence.

Every time I go, I’m in and out. The employees are always helpful in making sure they direct me to where you need to go. Fast and friendly.

Very helpful for the community. Super efficient enviroment. Employees are awesome and knowledgeable. Really appreciate the cleanliness of this facility above all approach. Always clean and super fast in service.

This place is small but run so efficiently! The people who work there make it all work just great and the location is very convenient. Thanks, guys!!

When it’s open it’s great. But 90% of the time, I check the website it says it’s open, and then I load up my car full of trash, drive all the way down to the drop point, and it says “closed.” It’s incredibly frustrating to load my car and make a journey only to find there’s no way I’m gonna be able to empty it. I’m currently waiting for it to open again.. it is 3 on a Friday. Business hours say Friday 8AM to 5PM so why are they closed.. hopefully this changes soon or I’ll have to go back to filling landfills🙄
