Our Community
Drop Off Center
Our Center
Our award-winning collection service for businesses may pay the bills, but like many small businesses, we didn't start RR just to make money. We're passionate about the work we do, and we're passionate about the city (and state!) we call home.
For over 10 years, our Community Drop Off Center has given us the opportunity to share our passion for responsible resource recovery with North Texans from all walks of life. Meeting like-minded neighbors who care as much about our community and the environment as we do makes our days more fun and rewarding, and helps us take our minds off of the hot Texas summer!
If you find yourself in our neck of the woods (Love Field), we'd love to meet and recycle with you, too. :)
A Quick Note About Our Center
Our Community Drop Off Center is intended for public, non-commercial use only, but we do offer commercial drop off programs for contractors, small businesses, and haulers. If you represent a company, municipality, or non-profit organization and would like information about how to recycle with us, please click here and call us before dropping off. This will help ensure that your visit to our Center is time well spent.
How It Works
Find a Spot
First, you’ll need to find a place to park! Our Drop-Off Center is located on the north side of our building, on Langston Court. Feel free to park in our designated driveway!
Sign In
Our check in process is quick and painless! All we ask is that you sign in at our service desk when you arrive. We can update you on any recent changes, and answer questions you might have.
Drop Off
The drop off process is slightly different for all the materials we accept. Please make sure you’ve either already sorted your recycling, or are ready to sort your materials once you get to our Center. For more information on how to sort your recycling, keep scrolling!

What We Accept
Please note that RR does not offer any rebates (money back) to the general public, and all materials need to be sorted.
Traditional Recycling
+ Rigid Plastics (FREE)
Rigid Plastics (bottles, jars, & containers) are sorted by numerical code at our Center. You can do this at home or feel free to sort them with us instead! The types of rigid plastics we accept are #1 (PETE), #2 (HDPE), #4 (LDPE), #5 (PP), #6 (PS), & #7 (other). To find out what type of plastic you have, look for the triangular recycling symbol and the number inside that symbol. If you have an unlabeled piece of plastic, no worries! Just show it to us, and we'll help you figure out which bin to sort it into.

All soft plastics are accepted in one bin at our Center. We accept all types of clean HDPE (#2), LDPE (#4), & LLDPE (#4).

We accept all kinds of clean, dry cardboard at our Center except for cardboard that has a wax coating (like produce boxes) or oil stains (like pizza boxes).
