Collection/Transfer Station
The Citizens Collection Station is a full-service Collection/Transfer Station operated by BVR Waste and Recycling. Waste is brought to the center by businesses and citizens, as well as BVR Waste and Recycling through residential and commercial collections daily. The Collection Station is open to the public.
The waste picked up at your curb and brought to the station by a BVR Waste and Recycling truck is compacted and strategically placed into transfer trailers, maximizing weights at 20-22 tons per trailer. The transfer station also accepts waste from private haulers and waste companies. Once a trailer is full, it is then hauled to the Twin Oaks Landfill in Carlos, TX. The transfer station is regulated to dispose of 125 tons per day. On average the station handles 90-100 tons of compacted and non-compacted waste per day.
At this location, 2009 Old Chappell Hill Rd, businesses and customers can purchase mulch by the ton. This product is produced on-site from yard waste that is ground using a specialized grinder. First, yard waste is ground utilizing 3'x5' screens and then allowed to age and break down. After aging for approximately 4-6 months, this product is ground through a set of 2'x2' screens which produces a darker, finer product. This product can be used to enhance soil conditions or provide a moisture barrier for landscaping purposes.
Recycling
A recycling drop-off area is also located for those residents and businesses who are not part of a recycling program. If you currently are a city resident or a business who is paying for a recycling program you will be allowed to use the recycling drop-off facility free of charge. All other customers will be charged a $60/per year fee plus tax for annual access. This is a one-time, annual payment to utilize the recycling drop-off center.
If you have any questions about the Collection/Transfer Station or Recycling Drop-Off Facility located at 2009 Old Chappell Hill Rd please contact BVR Waste and Recycling at 979-922-5958. Please contact BVR Waste and Recycling at 979-922-5958 to set up large accounts.
