To encourage widespread recycling, organizations are given the opportunity to earn revenue. This money is generated through the sale of recyclables at the Full Service recycling drop-off centers as part of Irving's "Cashless Buy Back" Program.  

If centers are closed, other than the above listed dates and hours, look for signs that indicate closing due to inclement weather, attendant illness, or early closing due to a holiday. To register complaints or comments, call the Solid Waste Services Department at (972) 721-8059.
