Pickup in Third Ward

Third Ward's edges depend on who draws them. The city's Greater Third Ward super neighborhood runs between I-45 on the east and State Highway 288 on the west, reaching south to Wentworth and Blodgett, while other definitions stretch toward Brays Bayou or MacGregor Way. Inside are Texas Southern University on Cleburne Street and the University of Houston on Calhoun Road. The METRORail Purple Line runs along Scott Street, with stations at Elgin and near the two campuses, and the old Eldorado Ballroom sits at Elgin and Emancipation Avenue, the street long known as Dowling.

Riverside Terrace, Yates High School and Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church belong to the area's history too. 77004 is the ZIP we take requests from here, and it also reaches into parts of Midtown. Third Ward sits just under 10 miles, in a straight line, from the W Bellfort store. There's no Wash Bodega location in the neighborhood; every order is weighed and cleaned in Westbury before a driver returns it.

Tips for Third Ward

  • For apartment communities near Texas Southern or the University of Houston, add your building and unit number to the Cents order, and note whether the driver should buzz you at the gate or meet at the leasing office. Give us a call to clear entry; codes stay private.
  • ZIP 77004 also takes in parts of Midtown, so the neighborhood name on a map won't decide your routing. Key your full street address into Cents; the system matches it to a route and lists the open times.
  • Whether you're a few blocks from Emancipation Park or down toward Riverside Terrace, pickup can be no-contact. Name the exact spot for the bag, such as the porch or beside the side door, and add any gate notes so the driver can find it without knocking.
  • Got a heavy comforter or bulky blankets? They can ride along with your everyday laundry but are priced separately, as are specialty items. Call (832) 834-5689 before sending anything with special care needs. Spanish-speaking help is on hand (se habla español), and so is help in Russian.
Third Ward pickup FAQ

FAQ: pickup in Third Ward

  • Yes. Requests are accepted from 77004, Third Ward's ZIP, which it shares with parts of Midtown. Cents works out whether there's a route for your block and offers whatever times are open. A request is how it starts; the actual route and slot come from Cents.

  • With a 77004 address, yes. Near the campuses, add your apartment or building details in Cents, including the unit and any gate or leasing-office instructions. Ring (832) 834-5689 to plan the entry, and never put a gate code in a public form. Pickup can be no-contact if you leave clear directions.

  • Just under 10 miles, straight-line. Our only store is at 6604 W Bellfort Ave in Westbury, Southwest Houston, and Third Ward has no Wash Bodega branch, locker or staff. Pickups and returns are made by drivers who work for us, and the washing, drying and folding all happen at the store.

  • It costs $1.69 per pound, with a 15 lb minimum, and we don't charge for picking up or dropping off. Your bag goes on the scale at check-in, which is how the final price is set. Comforters and other bulky bedding, along with specialty items, have their own rates. Wash Bodega doesn't offer dry cleaning.

  • Usually it's home again within 24 hours of the pickup. Plan a day ahead, because pickups usually happen the day after you schedule them. Walk-in customers can use the store around the clock, and staff are there 24/7, yet those hours describe store access, not pickup or delivery windows.

  • For booking, it makes no difference. 77004 is listed for both Third Ward and Midtown, and it's open for requests. Type the whole address, house number and street, into Cents; that's how routing and timing get decided. Booking doesn't require a website account with us, and promotional messages are optional.
