They seem to have a penchant for closing without notifying the public. Wasted a trip today, (10/06/2025, Monday). Got there at 12:45 on the dot and everything was locked up and no human to be seen. Very disappointing! 😡
The people that run the collection station have always been super friendly to me. I've probably gone here like 10 times in 6 months while cleaning up a property. It's way less expensive than the Glen Rose dump.
My experience at this recycling place was unpleasant. The young men on duty were not friendly, and seemed to be lazy. I had to figure out on my own where to put what in which bin.
Wouldn’t take trash due to no dumpsters not available. They should have posted on website otherwise I would have never loaded truck and drove 30 minutes.
Went to drop off a bunch of recycling since the website said it was open but when you get there, there's a big sign that says closed due to covid. Would have been nice to know before I drove down there
Great recycling center! Takes glass, metal, paper, plastic and cardboard. Might take other stuff too? Just ask! They are very helpful
The only thing they don't take is plastic bags. Almost every grocery store takes plastic bags and that's what they recommend you do with those.
Tip for people who are used to single-stream recycling :: this is not a single stream facility, you need to have your recycling sorted before you go and then it's really simple once you get there. I didn't know that the first time and had everything lumped together.
I only wish more people in Hood County would use this facility. I'm not sure if some people even know it exists or where it is. They do a wonderful job sorting recycle items and the most courtious people to deal with.
