On July 2, 2007, WCA Waste (WCA) became our new trash collection provider. WCA Houston Residential has been operating in the Houston Metro area for the past 9 years and provides trash and recycle services to approximately 130,000 residential customers. WCA was jointly selected by the MUDs after a competitive bid and analysis process.

Please have trash out at curb by 7:00 AM each pick up day and put the containers back in their storage space (out of sight from the street) by 7:00 PM the day of garbage pickup. This will help keep our neighborhood looking clean.
GENERAL TRASH PICKUP
On each regularly scheduled collection day, WCA will collect residential refuse located at the curbside; refuse must be either in containers or bags not exceeding 40 gallons or weighing over 40 pounds.
Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter exceeding 3 inches. The bundling is required to allow quick pickup and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the crushing process. All residential waste materials except tree and yard waste must be either in containers, bags or bundles not exceeding 40 pounds.
Items such as appliances, furniture, carpet (up to 1 room, rolled up four feet wide and less than fifty pounds), cardboard boxes (flattened), will be picked up either day. By Federal Law, refrigerators and freezers or any other items containing Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to validate such service was performed.
Items excluded from normal collection are dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, tires, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, waste generated by a private contractor or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials. WCA will leave a tag explaining the reason for non-collected item(s).
If notified in advance, other than normal amounts of residential refuse, yard trimmings or bulk items can be picked up. WCA will meet with a resident prior to collection day to determine a price. If a resident does not notify WCA of such a special pick-up before its scheduled day, then WCA will leave a notice for the resident to contact Contractor during normal office hours before the next scheduled pick up day.
WCA will clean up any spillage that occurs during the collection or recycling process; provided, however, that if gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that is not visible to Contractor personnel results in spillage that causes a stain, WCA cannot be responsible.
RECYCLE PROGRAM
WCA takes great pride in our recycling program and efforts. Ensuring the best recycle program for our customers takes time and effort on both sides. Please remove caps, liquids and food products from inside the containers. Please only use the recycle bins for recyclable materials, not as an extra trash container.
WCA will collect paper, plastics 1 and 2 (look for classification stamp on items), aluminum and tin cans that are placed within the provided recycling bin. If items exceed container capacity, please place them adjacent to bin.
Currently the recycle processing companies are not processing unsorted GLASS, therefore, WCA cannot accept glass in the recycle bin. Please dispose of glass with your other household waste or take it to the County Recycling Facility noted below.
Another glass recycle center is just off 90A on Gillingham. From New Territory, go east on 90A and turn left on Gillingham (which is the first street after Eldridge.) The site is just over the railroad tracks and across the street from Schlumberger. Clear and brown glass can be recycled at this site.
WCA will provide each current residence with one recycling bin and will replace any bins that are defective or otherwise become unusable due to normal wear and tear. Theft, lost or additional bins can be replaced at $7.00 each.
If you find items left in your bin that are not recyclable please dispose of these items in your trash container for the next scheduled pick up.
TO RECYCLE PRODUCTS NOT TAKEN BY WCA
There are several categories of waste material that WCA cannot pick up and which residents must dispose of themselves. These include a wide variety of Hazardous materials such as Paints, Stains and Thinners, Household Chemicals, Pesticides, Gasoline and other Flammable products, and many more. You can dispose of these items at the Fort Bend County Recycling Center. CLICK HERE to open their website and find the full list of items they will accept and contact information including a map to their location.
HOLIDAYS
WCA observes six (6) holidays:
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- July 4th – Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
When regular pick-up falls on one of these holidays the pick-up will be made on the next regular scheduled pick-up day. If your recycling day falls on a holiday it will be picked up the next week on your normal scheduled recycle day.
