TRASH COLLECTION TIPS

With spring just around the corner and yard work beginning soon we wanted to send some reminders regarding you trash collection service.

  • The maximum size allowable container is 50 gallons.
  • The maximum weight per container, bag or bundle is 50 pounds.
  • Containers larger than 50 gallons and or items exceeding 50 pounds will have a notice placed on them indicating the need to use a smaller container or to remove some of the content on overweight containers or items for collection the next scheduled day.
  • Tree trimmings need to be cut into 4 foot lengths, tied and bundled not to exceed 50 pounds.
  • Dirt, rocks, brick and concrete are not part of normal trash collection.

WCA does have a special pick-up service available at a nominal fee to collect many overweight items or other items not covered as part of the normal service. Please call their office in advance at 281/368-8397 to arrange collection of this type of material.

 


PGMUD TOPS IN RECYCLING

Congratulations! According to WCA, our community has one of the highest recycle participation rates in the metro area. It takes time to recycle, and it takes extra time to get the most out of the program. Education is critical in understanding what is and is not recyclable.

  • Newspapers: Please remove unread newspapers from plastic wrappers, and dispose of the wrappers with your normal trash.
  • Plastic #1 & #2 Only: All plastic containers have a number on them, usually on the bottom of the container. Only items marked “1” or “2” can be recycled.
    • Please empty all liquid or wash out any unused product.
    • Throw the lids or tops into the regular trash.
    • Plastic containers still containing food waste cannot be recycled.
    • Plastic grocery bags may be recycled.
  • Aluminum & Tin Cans: These items can be recycled but should be emptied and rinsed first.

The items shown above are the ONLY items to be placed in the recycle bin for collection. Any unacceptable items placed in the bin will be left for you to dispose of with your normal trash.

Examples of unacceptable items include: coat hangers, toys, empty wrappers, glass, straws, egg cartons, Styrofoam, garden hoses, dry cleaning bags, paper grocery bags, and cardboard.

If unacceptable items get processed with the regular recycling, it could cause the load quality to decline. When this happens, the load may be refused by the recycling vendor. If so, the load is treated as regular trash ---- defeating the whole purpose of recycling!

If you are uncertain whether an item can be recycled, call WCA at 281/368-8397 for assistance.
