Trash Collection
Customer Service
To report any problems or concerns, please call (281) 368-8397.
Trash Days and Information
Household trash and yard waste collection service is at the curbside on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Service bagged trash, resident’s containers, and bundled tree branches (no individual branch larger than 3-4’ diameter, bundles no more than 4-5’ long, bundles no larger than 18” diameter). Any problems or concerns, residents should call 281-368-8397 and speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives. As part of normal collection WCA does not pick up dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials or waste generated by a private contractor.
Bulky (heavy) waste (refrigerators, freezers and other CFC-containing appliances must be drained of Freon and have a bill to validate such service was performed) will be picked up either scheduled day and must also be located at the curb. For special collection other than normal amounts of residential refuse, yard trimmings or bulk items if notified in advance WCA will meet with the resident prior to collection day to negotiate a price. If a resident does not notify WCA of such a special pick up before their scheduled day then WCA will leave a notice for the resident to contact WCA during normal office hours before their next scheduled pick up day.
