Sunbeam Depository and Recycling Center to Reopen August 1, 2014 After Extensive Renovations

 

The City of Houston’s Solid Waste Management Department has announced that the Sunbeam Depository and Recycling Center, located at 5100 Sunbeam Street, 77033, will reopen on Friday, August 1, 2014, after being closed for nearly one year due to much needed renovations and updates.

 

“The newly renovated facility will be able to accommodate more vehicles at one time, increasing operational efficiency and decreasing wait time for residents,” said Harry Hayes, Director of the Solid Waste Management Department.

 

The Sunbeam facility is a convenient location where Houston residents can take their recyclable materials, tree waste, tires and junk waste items, such as furniture and appliances, for proper handling. Citizens are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time to allow adequate time to unload. The Sunbeam Depository and Recycling Center is open Wednesday through Sunday, with the exception of City-approved holidays.

 

Each user must provide the following as proof of residency:

    • Texas Driver’s License or ID and
    • A current utility bill or city property tax receipt

 

The facility hours of operation are as follows:

    • 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Daylight Savings Time)
    • 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Non-Daylight Savings Time)
