Recycling in Round Rock: A Local Guide
Round Rock, Texas — a fast-growing Williamson County city north of Austin — is served by one official public recycling facility: the City of Round Rock Recycling Center at 310 Deepwood Drive. The city-operated drop-off accepts a wide variety of materials well beyond what a standard curbside bin handles, making it the central recycling resource for Round Rock residents and, for most streams, visitors from outside the city as well.
The Round Rock Recycling Center (also called Deepwood Recycling Center) handles aluminum, tin, and steel containers, non-Freon appliances, cardboard, paper, glass bottles and jars, plastics #1–#7, Expanded Polystyrene (Styrofoam) packaging, rechargeable batteries, fluorescent bulbs, propane and helium tanks, motor oil, antifreeze, automotive batteries, and gasoline. A dedicated Household Hazardous Waste window operates Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. — free for Round Rock residents, $60 per vehicle for non-residents. An on-site Re-USE Building offers leftover HHW products such as paint and fertilizer free to anyone who signs a waiver. The facility is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sundays and City holidays. Note that TVs, general electronics, tires, and Freon appliances are not accepted here.
A co-located Brush Recycling Center at the same address accepts tree trimmings, branches, and shrub parts; small loads (up to 2 cubic yards) are free for Round Rock residents, $15 for non-residents. Round Rock residents with proof of residency may also self-load up to 2 cubic yards of free mulch during regular hours.
