Mattresses and Furniture: Schedule a Bulky Waste Pickup or you can drop it off the Cobbs Recycling Center or the Landfill.
Glass: If you’ve got glass bottles and jars, find one of our purple glass bins or take it to Cobbs Recycling Center.
Appliances: Take household appliances to Cobbs Recycling Center. Appliances with Freon can also be disposed at Cobbs Recycling Center or the Landfill for a $15 fee.
Plastic Bags: Take the plastic bags back to the store and drop them off there for recycling.
Clothes: Take gently used clothes to any of the local donation centers. Clothes that can’t be donated could be turned into rags, stuffing or something more creative!
Books: Gently used books can be donated to the Friends of the Waco-McLennan Library for resale in the annual book sale. The proceeds benefit the library! Books that are damaged or dirty can’t be resold or recycled, so think about upcycling or put them in your gray bin.
Medications: Many area pharmacies take back over-the-counter and prescription medications. If you need to dispose of needles or syringes, put them in a rigid plastic container (like a shampoo bottle) before putting them in the trash.
