North Residential Drop-Off Center
Houston’s North Main drop-off for bulky items, tires and recycling, on the same lot as the city’s Reuse Warehouse.
The North Residential Drop-Off Center, at 9003 N. Main, keeps hours of Tuesday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It shares its property with the city’s Reuse Warehouse, which gives away donated building materials and keeps its own hours, Tuesday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The drop-off was built for 10 vehicles unloading at once, with room for recycling traffic besides.
Serves: Houston trash pickup and drop-off rules.
What this center takes and what it does not
North Main takes mattresses, furniture (two large items), appliances, refrigerators tagged to show the refrigerant was removed, tree waste, junk and recyclables. It also takes 5 quarts of motor oil and passenger tires, five a visit and 10 a month. Garbage, TVs, paint, chemicals, dirt and concrete are turned away.
