The Woodlands Township utilizes the single-stream recycling program. Instead of diligently separating recyclables into two “streams” — mixed paper (newspaper, junk mail, etc.) and commingled containers (bottles, cans, etc.) — recyclers whose materials go to The Woodlands Recycling Center are able to put these two streams together in one bin.
Single-stream recycling makes it almost as easy to use the recycling bin as it is to use the trash can, so for the previously unconverted, there’s no excuse for not recycling!
Th Woodlands Township provides residents a 96-gallon yellow lid recycling cart with curbside pickup. Carts should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on service days. Please remember to rinse cans, bottles and containers and only place clean paper products in the recycling cart.
