They are always willing to educate you on how you can make more money recycling various metals, they have a frequent donor card, the rates are always fair, & if you see an item of interest onsite - they will make you a deal if you want to purchase it.

For example, during the summer when the Texas heat can really make people cranky they remain friendly and helpful...by offering water while you wait for your paperwork to be processed.

If you're home owner like me, odds are you have years of spray paint, canned paint and numerous other chemicals aging in your garage? Like so many yelpers have already mentioned, you do need to make an appointment which is not at all difficult. I actually called in the morning on a weekday and got an appointment within three hours. The number to call is 512-974-4343. On my visit I brought all kinds of paint, fuel additive, cleaning agents, lubricants, and pesticides. To be honest, I thought they were going to charge me something for this collection of environmentally damaging products, but I offloaded everything onto their carts in a matter of minutes and was on my way. Quick, convenient and no charge. I thought I would add four photos for a little insight.

I used to use Waste Connections but feel that their business practices are predatory, as they doubled bills frequently which I believe is an attempt to mess over elderly people or those with auto pay. When they've come, you even know because they neatly leave the can sideways consistently to denote that. I saved 60% by switching over, they're local, the lady on the phone was super nice, I just so happened to meet the owner this morning and he's a top notch guy. Really happy to be using Recon these days.

Unfortunately, my experience at this business was frustrating and unpleasant. The staff was consistently rude, interrupting and not allowing me to finish my sentences, especially when attempting to help them retrieve their property. The lack of basic courtesy made the entire process unnecessarily difficult. While I understand they may not be in the waste service business, at one point they had to be. Since buying our house, our trash can has said Recon with this phone number on it. We started getting skipped by our trash company in the recent because of it. Our company brought us a new bin and I was instructed to call the number on our old one. I'm doing so, my experience was awful. I hope they can improve their customer service in the future.

This is the only dump I've ever been to in my 37 years on planet Earth that didn't have me wanting to puke while being there. I don't know what their methods are but to me that's amazing! I've been a few times but I had to dispose my old bed recently which caused me to make an appearance there. The dump is actually in Creedmoor (It says Buda on Yelp) & FM 1327 is a quiet & pleasant little road to travel along. The nature preserve surrounding the landfill is also pleasant to look at & is kind of cool that the landfill is trying to make good use of the land surrounding it. The overall cost of disposing my old bed + large boxes left behind from the new bed ended up being around $67. That with the $45 U-Haul pickup rental + gas was still cheaper than paying the furniture store's $189 disposal fee. The employees I dealt with were friendly, had good attitudes, & from an outsider's perspective they seemed to be well taken care of by the company they work for.

Their single‑operator trucks will not move a bin if a car is nearby, even on public streets where homeowners have no control. The only remedies offered are insufficient: a couple of extra bags next week or paying double for a return trip. This is not customer service -- it's a penalty for their own cost‑cutting. Speaking with a supervisor confirmed they have no flexibility or willingness to help. Very disappointing.
