Citizens Collection Station and
Transfer Station
2009 Old Chappell Hill Road
Bobby Branham, Superintendent
The Citizens Collection Station is a full service collection/transfer station. The garbage and waste brought to the center by citizens, as well as the residential trash picked up on a daily basis is accepted at the Collection Station. Both the Collection and Transfer Station are open to the general public.
The Collection Station accepts used tires, solid waste, scrap metal, construction / demolition debris (excluding cement and bricks), brush, used computers and yard waste for disposal. This solid waste is generally disposed of at the site utilizing roll-off containers provided by a third party. To view a price list for items accepted at the Collection Station, please click here.
The waste picked up at your curb and brought to the station by the residential garbage trucks is compacted and strategically placed into transfer trailers, maximizing weights at 20 ton per trailer. The Transfer Station also accepts waste from other municipalities, private haulers and other refuse companies. The final destination of the compacted waste is the Brazos Valley Solid Waste Management Association landfill in Bryan, Texas. The Transfer Station is regulated to dispose of 125 tons per day. On an average, the station handles 70-80 tons of compacted waste per day. Currently the fleet consists of 3 long-haul trucks and 3 semi walking floor trailers, which are maintained and operated by 3 full-time employees.
The Citizens Collection Station has opened the door to waste reduction and awareness by producing mulch from the brush, wood waste and grass clippings brought into the collection station. First, the waste is ground through a set of 3 x 5 inch screens, producing wood chips. These wood chips are separated and stockpiled into larger piles to allow the mulching process to complete its cycle. After 4-6 months and adding water as needed, the wood chips are then double-ground through a set of 2 x 2 inch screens. These screens produce quality mulch which has a finer texture and darker appearance than wood chips. Once double-ground, "Municipal Mulch" is ready for its final destination.
