| Trash
and Debris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Garbage trucks are running their regular schedule
for household waste. Please put household trash out
on your regular service day. Food waste should be
double-bagged in the trash cart.
For storm debris, please separate as follows: tree
limbs, bagged greenwaste and construction material.
Please place these near the street, but NOT on the
street, and NOT in drainage systems. Please stack
all debris separately at the curb-brush, limbs and
logs together, and bagged greenwaste such as pine
needles and leaves together. It is only necessary
to stack. It is not necessary to bundle, as long as
the different types of waste are clearly separated.
For more information, visit http://www.mctx.org/.
Construction debris, such as siding, wet carpet
or fencing material, MUST be stacked separately from
green waste.
Please be patient as debris will be picked up as soon
as possible, but may take several weeks. Large equipment
will make multiple runs throughout the community to
clear the waste, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
Please move cars off the roadways to allow the large
equipment to pass down your street.
Absolutely NO BURNING in The Woodlands! DO NOT
dump debris over fences or into the greenbelt or drainage
systems.
