There will be no interruption in solid waste services during the Christmas and New Year holidays. All services will occur on their regularly scheduled service day including trash, recycling, yard trimmings and bulky trash pick-up. 

The Woodlands Recycling Center at 5402 Research Forest Drive will be open on Wednesday 4 to 7 p.m. and closed on Saturday, December 25 and Saturday, January 1.  

For trouble-free service, please keep streets clear of parked cars to allow trucks to safely access carts. Place carts at the curb before 7 a.m., and make sure that cart lids close completely. Failure to follow all service guidelines will result in items being left at the curb.

Waste Management has discontinued courtesy collection of extra holiday boxes and wrapping paper the week after the holiday. Extra boxes left outside of the cart will not be picked up unless items are bagged and affixed with an extra trash “pink tag”. 

PLEASE NOTE:  Recycling that is bagged and pink-tagged will be considered trash and landfilled, not recycled. Residents can recycle extra boxes at The Woodlands Recycling Center or by requesting bulky cardboard pickup from Waste Management at 800-800-5804 or cssatex@wm.com.
