Commercial Recycling Solutions in Texas
Since 1977, Texas Disposal Systems (TDS) has specialized in diverting waste from the landfill and restoring material into reusable products. TDS offers a comprehensive approach to paper, cardboard and plastic recycling with customized solutions for your business.
Our integrated facility makes TDS your one-stop-shop for waste stream management and reaching all of your sustainability and financial goals. Utilizing decades of knowledge and experience, our consultants can help you dive into your company’s recycling practices and find ways to divert more and save money.
Materials Recovery Facility
TDS processes the majority of its recyclables through its Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). As the heart of TDS’ recycling operations, the MRF processes 40-45 tons of material per hour including cardboard, paper, plastic, glass and aluminum that has been diverted by the communities and businesses that TDS serves.
Opened in 2010, the MRF spans more than 160,000 square feet, featuring two sorting systems that process materials mechanically, manually, and electronically. We are always expanding our vision of what recycling can include and are continuously looking for ways to divert even more material from the landfill and repurpose that material for new life.

Your rebate comes as a check and the amount is dependent on the type and volume of materials and the current market rate.
A metrics report for your diverted waste is also made available for your records. Use the diverted waste metrics report for legal compliance and to meet your industry’s environmental standards.
