Household Waste HHW Collection News

Ft. Bend County, TX Recycling Center

Ft Bend County HHW Facility has blossomed in the last 6 years.

When Ron Drachenberg first bought their three Safety Storage Inc Hazardous Storage Buildings, the buildings were just set out on the lot with no surrounding permanent facilities.

Now... well, just look at it! This amazing, top-of-the-line facility is an example for others in the country!

Bill Petty has a drum crusher, balers, a TeeMark paint/aerosol can crusher, 6 haz-mat rooms and a well-organized sorting area, all within a beautiful metal building. The baler turns a cotton trailer full of plastic bottles into one bale! The TeeMark Can Crusher pierces the aerosol can or pail removing reusable paint, then crushes the can into recycled metal and ejects it.

The freon from old appliances is gathered by a local school and then the rest of the appliance is sold for scrap metal. Easy-to-read signs mark their entrances and guide the public to the appropriate areas. The facility also takes e-waste, fishing line, tools, car bumpers, fertilizers, car oil/filters and vast amounts of unknowns.

Ron and Bill are doing an impressive, outstanding job at building and running this fantastic facility!   More about Fort Bend County HHW.
