The Bins — Local services in Houston

Come here with an open mind! This place isn't like the curated thrift stores nearby, it's more like the goodwill bins; so you WILL HAVE to spend more time combing through products to find a gem.

The parking situation is wild, I didn’t personally see a parking lot that was specifically for this store so I had to park a couple blocks down. I did see street parking as well. It’s in a very walkable area, it’s just always a little risky parking in other businesses parking lots (you...
