Each home or duplex is provided with clear plastic recycling bags that the resident uses to sort and store the recyclable materials in and place on the edge of the curb by 8 a.m. on the scheduled day for recycling collection. Please make sure to use the clear recycling plastic bags that are provided as other color bags will not be collected. Each material and color of glass must be separated into a different clear bag. Please rinse containers and flatten the plastic bottles. Texas Commercial Waste, our recycling contractor, takes six days each year for holiday vacation.
Recycling is now the only proper and legal method of disposal for used motor oil and filters.
These items are banned from the landfill, so you can't place them in the garbage cart or dumpster. There are also many local businesses that will accept used oil and filters from citizens. Some of them charge a small fee to accept the filters. The Planet Earth Celebration is a community wide public education event held annually on the Saturday of Earth Week in April. The event is free to the public.
