Let's get recycling, Braeswood Place! The City is evaluating which neighborhoods will lose curbside recycling due to lack of participation. Don't let our great neighborhood be one of them - if you need a bin call 3-1-1 immediately or contact me at snoopskaya@sbcglobal.net.
On another note, the City of Houston is changing the "heavy trash" process beginning in October. Pick-up will alternate monthly between junk trash and tree waste. Junk trash is furniture and large items that will not fit in your garbage can. Tree waste is tree limbs, branches, etc. DO NOT COMBINE tree and junk waste - it will not be picked up.
