Garbage Collection Will Occur on Friday

Residential Recycling has confirmed they will provide garbage collection only (no recycling) tomorrow, September 1st in Harris County MUD 501. They are prioritizing household garbage collection, so storm debris may not be collected tomorrow.

Because they are still catching up from having to suspend operations during the Harvey storm and flood event, Residential Recycling may not be able to begin garbage collection in the District until the afternoon. They will begin collection as soon as possible, so please place your garbage in the normal garage door collection location by 7 a.m. as usual.

Please be advised garbage collection services may last later into the evening than usual. The District appreciates your patience and understanding as we begin to recover from this unprecedented storm event.

Update on Garbage Collection Services

Residential Recycling and Refuse of Texas, Harris County MUD 501’s garbage and recycling provider, experienced significant flooding at their facility during the Harvey storm event. In order to ensure it is safe for them to resume garbage collection services, they are having mechanics inspect all of their equipment today. Residential Recycling has stated they will use their best efforts to collect garbage only (not recycling) in the District tomorrow, Friday, September 1st. Please be advised that once they resume services, they will prioritize collection of household trash in the District first, and then will begin to collect storm debris as possible.

The District will post an additional update on its website later today when we receive confirmation regarding whether garbage collection services in the District will resume tomorrow. Please continue to monitor the District’s website for additional information.

No Garbage and Recycling Collection on Tuesday

Due to the ongoing flooding and hazardous conditions from tropical storm Harvey, Residential Recycling and Refuse of Texas will NOT be providing garbage or recycling collection on Tuesday, August 29th. Residential Recycling will continue to evaluate conditions later this week to determine the next collection date. Please monitor the District’s website for additional information as it develops. The District appreciates your patience during this extreme weather event.
