Garbage and Recycling Update – June 19, 2024
The MUD 501 Board recently completed negotiations with the District’s garbage and recycling provider, Texas Pride Disposal, for a new five-year garbage and recycling contract, which will begin on July 1st. Due to the substantially escalating costs of garage door collection, the MUD 501 Board made the difficult decision to switch to curbside garbage and recycling collection with the new contract.
Beginning on July 1st, your garbage and recycling will be collected curbside and will not be collected if it is placed in the prior garage door location. Please place trash cans/bags and recycling carts at the curb by 5:30 a.m. on each collection day.
Elderly or disabled residents may contact Texas Pride, at 281-342-8178, or service@texaspridedisposal.com, to request valet garbage and recycling collection, if required. Valet service will include continued collection of garbage and recycling material at the garage door location, visible from the street.
We appreciate your understanding as the MUD 501 Board strives to continue to provide high-quality, cost-effective services to our community.
