Keep your curb clean and free of debris

There is rain in the forecast so please clean your gutters and curb so that the water may flow!
 
Help keep your neighborhood clean.
 Add-A-Can
This program provides residents with the opportunity of having a second or third garbage can serviced for a fee.
Residents will have their first 96 gallon can serviced free. The fee forservicing the second/third can may be added to the citizen’s monthly water bill upon request of the service. Citizens who already have an extra can and wish to continue to have it collected will need to request a sticker for it. Call 3-1-1 to enroll in Add-A-Can.
Tags For Bags
Extra bags of garbage are collected only if they have a special tag attached. The “Tags for Bags” program allows residents
the convenience of purchasing “tags” instead of additional cans if they require extra service occasionally. These tags may
be purchased at Fiesta, HEB, Sellers Bros. and participating Krogerstores. Residents may also download an order form at houstonsolidwaste.org and send the completed form and payment through the mail.

January – Tree Waste

 

Junk Waste

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

Tree Waste is accepted during Junk 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.

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

Residents who wish to dispose of Tree Waste or Junk Waste before their scheduled once-per-month collection may use one of six Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Centers. Visit the Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center web page here for more information or call 3-1-1.

Tires

Residents may place up to 4 tires at the curb for collection during Junk Waste months.  Collection crews will separate the tires from the Junk Waste. It may take up to a week before crews return and retrieve the tires.  Separating the tires from the rest of the Junk Waste  allows the SWMD to properly process tires.
