This is NOT a DMV experience. Drive up, show your license for Dallas County residence, and they take the material. Mid-day on a weekday there was no wait. Excellent work.

this isnt a review for the place and its employees, its a review for their hours. they close monday and fridays. the days that are most taken off for people to do extra things they cant during the week. people here arent rude or anything, they just seem like they dont want to be there. so dont expect them to be all super nice. they are doing their job.

This place is great! I am a resident of Plano but because I live in an apartment complex and do not pay for city trash services, the plano hazardous waste program would not collect my hazardous waste. Instead, they directed me here to the Dallas County Hazardous Waste facility. Normally there is a $95 fee for non residents of Dallas County to dispose of their hazardous waste here. However, because I only had one aerosol can they waived the fee and accepted my waste. The employees are friendly and they truly care about people disposing of waste properly.

Honestly I was really surprised by my experience. Great customer service. Very friendly workers unloaded my items quickly and sent me on my way. I have not had as good of experiences at other City of Dallas waste locations.

NOT if you live in one of the member cities of the co-operative network. Most, BUT not all cities in Dallas County proper. We accept Household Hazardous Wastes generated from ANY private home (no business wastes or non profits either ) ,however residents of those cities not in our cooperative network will need to pay a $95 fee ( cash or check NO credit cards-*network members feel processing fees are too high)

I have several cans of old latex paint of which I would like to dispose. Are there any special requirements or instructions of which I should be aware in order to drop them off at your facility? Some are empty, others still contain some paint.

Janice Feizy | Nov 5, 2020
James McCalip | Nov 5, 2020

When I dropped off used paint there were no special requirements. Do expect to wait in line for about 45 minutes to an hour. They will unload everything so you stay in your car. If possible don't have anything extra in your trunk. They also take batteries, Compact Fluorescent lights and electronics. So load up and make the wait worthwhile.

What’s the limit on paint? I moved into a house where a painter used to live. Unfortunately he left all of his old paint

Assuming that you have latex paint, it is only a problem waste when it is in liquid form. One (of many) way(s) to get rid of latex paint is to pour it over kitty litter in a shallow container or trench lined with plastic. The litter will help absorb the moisture in the paint. When it has dried completely, break it up and place it in the regular trash. Similarly, you can also pour it over leaves or other trash. If nothing else, consolidate all your partial cans of latex paint together into one can, then set all the now empty cans out in the sun to dry with the lids off. Once all moisture content is gone, the empty cans may be placed in the regular trash and then take the full cans to the collection center. Often times, collection centers have huge (500+/-) gallon tanks where they pour all the latex paint, then they offer free neutral color paint back to the public for re-purposing (like painting sheds, dog houses, etc.).

If you are within Dallas County, you can take it to the Northeast (Fair Oaks) Transfer Station at 7677 Fair Oaks Ave, Dallas, TX 75231 during their business hours. Take a utility bill with you along with your identification. Hours currently are 7:30am-5:00pm Wed and Sat. Not sure what other counties they serve.
