Recycling Pickup Day To Change April 15
The following is the text of a letter sent from the City of Houston Solid Waste Management to all Pineloch residents.
March 10, 2010
Dear Pineloch Central, Pineloch East or Pineloch West Resident,
Last year, the City of Houston added your home to the new Automated Recycling Program. We have received so much positive feedback regarding the green 96-gallon carts and the opportunity to receive RecycleBank Rewards.
We are excited to add more neighborhoods to the Automated Recycling Program. However, to accommodate these additions, we are making changes for optimum operational efficiency. Therefore, we will need to change the week in which your service is provided. Your new curbside day will change to Thursday B beginning April 15th so that you can have your garbage and recycling services on the same day!
Your participation is critical to the success of the program. Attached is a new recycling calendar for your convenience. For more information about your solid waste services, please call 3-1-1 or visit our department's web site at www.houstonsolidwaste.org.
We thank you for your continued support in making Houston a cleaner, greener place to live.
Sincerely,
Harry J. Hayes, Director
City of Houston Solid Waste Management

City of Houston Compostable Bags Required As Of April 5
Join the City of Houston and Go Green! Effective April 5, 2010, if you are going to bag up yard waste, it must be in an approved compostable bag displaying the City of Houston logo. A regular trash bag can take over 100 years to decompose! But when it comes to yard waste, like grass clippings and leaves, you have choices: grasscycling, composting, or the use of compostable bags. So why fill up the landfills? By diverting this material from area landfills, the city anticipates saving at least $1.5 million dollars annually while preserving the environment and valuable landfill space. The Solid Waste Department (SWD) will use these savings to add more Houstonians to the Automated Recycling Program.
Please go to the SWD website at www.houstonsolidwaste.org to find a current list of retailers and more information regarding the compostable bag program.
