Collection Guidelines beginning 7/15/24

In an effort to put all of our collection updates in one place and to avoid the multiple daily emails, below is an update regarding collection procedures as of yesterday afternoon. We will send a new update next week.

1. All recycle collection routes Wednesday-Saturday will be suspended this week. Due to extremely high volumes of household waste, we are focusing all of our efforts on collecting household waste.
2. In the event that GARBAGE collection does not occur on your scheduled day, it will be collected the following day.
3. Garbage crews will be collecting household garbage and a maximum of 3 bags of yard waste (grass clippings/leaves/hedge trimmings). No storm debris or heavy trash will be collected. To better assist the crews and limit confusion, please try to have yard waste in clear plastic bags and/or the heavy-duty paper lawn & refuse bags and if possible, separate it from your storm debris.
4. Texas Pride Disposal will not collect storm debris as part of normal trash collection or heavy trash collection. Please reach out to your City or County for further information regarding storm debris collection.
5. As our drivers and crews continue to work hard on collection efforts during this difficult time, please direct any questions and/or concerns to our customer service department at service@texaspridedisposal.com or call (281) 342-8178.
6. We currently have limited internet capability and phone access, which may cause a delay in response time. Please be patient as our teams are diligently working to respond to all requests as timely as possible.

Why You Should NOT Flush Wipes

Did you know that some paper products and wipes are advertised as “flushable” but are not!

Sure, they will flush down, but they do not flush out. Instead, they get caught in sewer lines, pumps, filters, and screens at the sewer plant. This results in costly repairs or cleanup!

You have control to prevent these repair expenses by simply not flushing wipes, paper towels, hygiene products, and other items into the sewer system.
