Not accepted: remodeling or construction debris, business waste, propane cylinders, old gasoline, household hazardous waste, leaking equipment, scrapped TVs or electronics, chargers and cables, plastic bags, food waste or household garbage.
Who can use it
Anyone may drop off household recyclables. Bulky waste, brush, paint, motor oil, appliances and tires are for City of Waco residents only: bring a recent Waco water bill (paper or electronic, within 30 days of its due date) showing a Waco residential address with trash service, plus a photo ID with the same address.
Payment: No payment is taken on site; fees are added to your next City of Waco utility bill.
