RECYCLING UPDATE FOR BINGLEWOOD

We are sure many of you (as well as your Civic Association) have been filing 3-1-1 Tickets with the City of Houston to complain about the delay in picking up our recycling. Unfortunately, the delay is city-wide. The Solid Waste Department is working their way through the collection routes as fast as they can with current staffing. Our District A Council Member Peck has spoken to both the Director and the Mayor asking for their help in getting the department back on track. Per District A: "We understand the delay is caused by the department being down 13 trucks and about 40+ staffing. The director has already brought on new drivers who are in training and will start a new fiscal year in two weeks (mid-July) to assist. They are also evaluating both the routes and schedules for the department collections to see what else can be done. They have made several changes to the organizational structure as well. But at this point, they don’t have enough resources to tell us when they will be [able to pick up recycling in Binglewood]."

Your options are to wait it out or take your recycling directly to the Sommermeyer Neighborhood Depository/Recycling Center located at: 14400 Sommermeyer, Houston, TX 77040

This facility accepts Junk Waste, Tree Waste and Recyclables at no additional charge to City of Houston residents.
Bring a copy of your City of Houston water bill. (The Sommermeyer facility is located at the intersection of Sommermeyer @ Winfern)

HOURS:
Tuesday-Sunday, 10 am to 7 pm
