The Woodlands TX Recycling Program

If you live in The Woodlands you will know how this Master Planned Community prides itself in maintaining GREEN space.  If you are considering moving here, it is most likely because of the trees.  Green is a popular color in The Woodlands.

However, The Woodlands is much more GREEN than just the trees.  You will also see an extensive Recycling Program here as well.  There are two locations in the area that can take nearly everything.  I visited both centers today and saw everything from Cardboard to Televisions.  It was quite impressive. 

The center off of Research Forest Dr. is one street past the Bear Branch Sports Fields.  This center can accept:

  • Aluminum
  • Steel Cans
  • Glass
  • Cardboard and Paperboard
  • Plastic #1 and 2
  • Yard Trimmings
  • Paper--The Recycled Paper is actually a Fundraiser for Students in the Area.

The other center is off of Pruitt Rd.  If you take Sawdust Rd. and head South on Budde, you will follow for a little over a mile and it will be on your left.  This Center can accept many other items.  Here is the list:

  • Aluminum Cans
  • Steel Cans
  • Scrap Metal (not green)
  • Glass Jars and Bottles (not green)
  • Glass drinking mugs & glasses, window panes, plate glass, vases and light fixtures
  • Paper
  • Cardboard and Paperboard
  • Plastic #1 and #2
  • Residential Home Improvement Materials
  • Tires
  • Automobile Batteries
  • Used Motor Oil
  • Appliances
  • Bulky Household Appliances
  • Yard Trimmings
  • Household Garbage
  • Paper

As a Real Estate Agent with an EcoBroker Designation I am always looking for GREEN aspects in the community.  This is just one of the ways that The Woodlands is striving for GREEN Standards.  For more information on the Recycling program in The Woodlands or how you can schedule some items to be picked up at your home, please feel free to visit The Woodlands GREEN Website.
