The Keep Odessa Beautiful Facility at 814 W. 42nd Street is the city's single drop-off point for bulk items, recycling and household hazardous waste. If you have looked for it under another name, that is because four separate services were recently consolidated under one banner: the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, the Citizen Bulk Drop-Off, the Time Machine and the Odessa Recycle Center are now all the Keep Odessa Beautiful Facility, at the same 42nd Street address. Older directories still list them as separate sites, which is the most common source of confusion here.

The city does not publish a fee schedule for the facility on its own pages, and we do not carry one. Call (432) 335-4686 before hauling anything substantial. The city's own guidance treats the site as the fastest route for bulk disposal rather than the cheapest, which suggests charges are modest or absent for ordinary household loads — but since no figure is stated we will not put one on this page.

Two alternatives are worth knowing. The Solid Waste Department provides free bulk collection from the kerb, booked on (432) 368-3510, though the city warns that limited staffing means pickups can take longer than usual and recommends the drop-off for speed. The department also runs neighbourhood bulk drop-off events that rotate through the city's districts; dates appear on the city's online calendar.

The site trades 8am until 5pm on weekdays, shutting for lunch between noon and 1pm, and 8am until noon on Saturdays. Sundays are closed. The midday closure is easy to miss and catches out people arriving on a lunch break.

Both `odessa-tx.gov` and `keepodessabeautiful.org` block automated access, so the details above come from the city's live pages and its published FAQ. The list of accepted materials is maintained on the Keep Odessa Beautiful site rather than the city's, and is worth checking before a specialist load such as paint, chemicals or electronics.
