Heavy Trash – Junk Waste

HR Logo

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.

REMINDER: Falvey Street Storm Sewer Rehabilitation

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 17, 2024

Contact: Dustin Hodges (832) 393-3008

districte@houstontx.gov

HOUSTON – Council Member Fred Flickinger would like to make residents aware that Houston Public Works will begin a drainage improvement project along Falvey St. and the intersection with Woodbine St. starting TOMORROW, Monday, November 18. The scope of work includes removing and replacing storm sewers, installing new inlets, removing and replacing sidewalks, and milling and overlaying the road. The project cost is $257,600 and is funded through Houston Public Works Dedicated Drainage & Street Renewal Fund (DDSRF).

The project is anticipated to be completed by Tuesday, March 18, 2025, weather permitting. Construction activities are expected to take place Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and contractors may work on weekends as needed.

As a result of the construction activities, please be aware of flagmen and orange traffic cones that will be put in place on-site to help with traffic flow through the construction zone as the project will require one lane closure. Two-way traffic will always be maintained. Businesses and residents will always have access to driveways and may experience increased noise levels due to trucks and equipment in the area. Impacts to water or sewer are not anticipated. Should a disruption need to occur, affected residents will be notified in advance.

For more information, please contact Council Member Flickinger’s office at (832) 393-3008 or districte@houstontx.gov.

Solicitamos dos, que estarán ubicados en la calle Ahrens/Allen Genoa y la calle Howard/Michael. ¡Unámonos para embellecer nuestra comunidad! ¡Necesitamos tu ayuda! ¡Por favor done cualquier cantidad que desee para ayudarnos a pagar los permisos y amablemente les pediremos a los patrocinadores que nos ayuden con el resto! No es barato de instalar. ¡Unámonos para obtener los permisos que necesitaremos!
