Dear Solid Waste Customer,
I want to remind you that the city’s Heavy Trash program has been
revamped and the Tree Waste program is now in effect. This new
method of collecting your large waste comes with the benefits of
diverting materials that can be recycled from landfills, saving landfill
space and your valuable tax dollars. The Tree/Junk Waste schedule
changes each month from Tree Waste to Junk. Tree Waste months
are January, March, May, July, September and November. Junk Waste
months are February, April, June, August, October and December.
“Tree Waste” is defined as “clean wood waste such as tree limbs,
branches, and stumps (lumber, furniture, and treated wood will
NOT be accepted). “Junk Waste” is defined as items such as furniture,
appliances, and other bulky material. Junk Waste may not be placed
for collection during a Tree Waste Month.
Please Note: Tree Waste is accepted during Junk Waste Months.
However, to ensure that your Tree Waste is recycled, you may hold your
tree waste materials until the next Tree Waste designated month
or bring it to a Neighborhood Depository. For the depository nearest
you or for more information, log onto www.houstonsolidwaste.org,
or call 3-1-1.
Again, thank you for your continued support on making Houston
a cleaner, greener place to live.
