Just found out about this place and I will no longer use anyone else. This place is hands down the best in our area! Thank you for your superb service! We'll be back for bulk mulch!

I feel like they should be paying you for your wood and etc... Like aluminum cans at a metal recycling. They are making money off of your hard work... I don't see why they can't share even a little fraction of that??? You can just take it to the dump for that price... Every one isn't trying to save the world, just trying to make a living so you will do what's financially sound... Although you are indeed helping them make a living... I feel like they should in turn help those back who are helping them.

We do a lot of business with AWR and I really can not say enough about the product and customer service we receive! Justin T. from day one has been extremely helpful, supportive, responsive and kind. I could go on and on about AWR , but I will just say that AWR has done everything in their power to earn and keep our business! WE LOVE AWR and Justin T.

Compared to RR recycle center, they are expensive and military discount didn't get deducted for pull off on a 1.5 yard trailer. To pay what a 3 yard trailer carries for my small trailer is just wrong. I know I could have gone to RR recycle, but I was not going to make it there before closing. Just saying they should be more open with prices.

A great place to drop off those trimmings and pick up landscaping material in bulk. If you need dirt, they have it. If you need some rocks, they got it. Need mulch? Well, you get the idea. Good prices and good products.

The naturally aged Texas hardwood mulch is the best you can get anywhere. No large chunk wood fragments no funky dye that is going to wash away and look like some sort of fungus attack after a few months. You can buy this stuff at just about any Home Depot or Lowe's but if you're in the area you can stop in and buy your stuff directly from them.
