TREE WASTE & Bulk Waste
Residents may dispose of Tree Waste and Bulk Waste curbside. Tree Waste is collected during ODD numbered months and Bulk Waste is collected during EVEN numbered months. This method of collecting large waste items comes with the benefit of diverting materials that can be recycled, away from landfills, saving landfill space and valuable tax dollars. 

Tree Waste
“Tree Waste” is defined as “clean” wood waste such as tree limbs, branches, and stumps. Lumber, furniture, and treated wood will NOT be accepted.

Service Alert Bulk Waste may NOT be placed for collection during a Tree Waste month. Tree Waste months are January, March, May, July, September, and November.

Bulk Waste

“Bulk Waste” is defined as items such as furniture, appliances, and other bulky material.

Tree Waste is accepted during Bulk Waste Months; however, to ensure your Tree Waste is recycled, you may hold your tree waste materials until the next Tree Waste designated month or take it to a Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center.

Bulk Waste months are February, April, June, August, October and December.

INVISTA Opens $13M Technology Hub in Houston

Texas Technology Center to support Nylon and Propylene businesses

KATY, Texas – As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation and creating increased value for customers, INVISTA today celebrated the grand opening of the Texas Technology Center (TTC), a $13M technology hub and research and development center in the Houston metro area.

The nearly 40,000-square-foot facility located in Katy, Texas, which INVISTA first announced in August of last year, will have more than 50 members of R&D, Engineering and Advanced Process Control teams supporting INVISTA’s global technology needs in the chemical intermediates and polymer product lines for both the Nylon and Propylene businesses, as well as data scientists and members of INVISTA’s EHS, transformation and project teams. The hub will house outstanding analytical and experimental capabilities that will rapidly advance INVISTA’s programs through the development cycle.

“The Texas Technology Center now provides a hub for innovative projects and partnerships that will help keep us on the cutting edge of our industry,” said Jerry Grunewald, vice president of research and development for INVISTA. “At INVISTA, we’re committed to harnessing the power of innovation to meet the needs of our customers, and this R&D center in the growing Houston metro area is going to be a large part of how we do that in the future.”

Several leaders from INVISTA joined the ceremonies, including INVISTA’s President and CEO, Brook Vickery, who said, “Touring the world-class R&D facilities at the Texas Technology Center today was impressive. The capability we now have under one roof in Texas will accelerate the teams’ contributions to advancing our businesses. I just visited our Asia Innovation Center in Shanghai earlier this year, and the world-class facilities we now have on both sides of the globe have me even more excited about the discoveries and developments our teams are making that will respond to our customers’ needs and drive innovation in our industry.”

The opening of the Texas Technology Center will support INVISTA’s utilization of highly advanced core technologies and the development of new and innovative products to meet unmet market needs.

Oak Meadows Hurricane Beryl food & essentials distribution by TPC Group, Invista, Port Houston and Valero!

TPC Group, Invista, Port Houston and Valero supported the Oak Meadows Community, the Company’s near neighbors in Houston’s east end, in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.

“Hurricane Beryl, one of our toughest time when we were all going through a test of patience and faith due to the enormous power outage ending after eight days,” said Michelle Garcia, Vice President, Oak Meadows Civic Club. The surrounding Company’s generosity ensured residents had cool, filtered water! Residents barbecued chicken and turned on flash lights to fill the night which seemed like a candle light picnic in the middle of one of the darkest nights in the east end. Neighbors came together and rallied to feed neighbors, deliver water, ice, gas gift cards close to 200 families!

TPC supported these efforts by delivering a pallet of water, HEB Gift Cards, bags of ice, flashlight batteries and work gloves.

Invista supported Walmart gift card to distribute bags of chicken.

Port Houston supported pallets of bagged ice and cases of water.

Valero donated 25- gas gift cards
