Recycling in The Woodlands - Am I doing it right?

recycle in the woodlands
Sometimes it's hard to figure out this recycling thing. What's considered trash? How do I prep my recyclables? Should I be rinsing these cans first? And what do I do with all these pizza boxes from last night's party?

Well, recycling can be simple for you yet! The Woodlands Township has put together these straight-forward guidelines that show us all we need to know about what's acceptable to be recycled, and how to properly prepare our items. For instance, did you know we shouldn't be bagging our recyclables? And plastic bags are not an acceptable recyclable? Did you know we should be emptying, rinsing, and keeping caps on our containers before recycling?

CLICK HERE to read all the guidelines that will take the guesswork out of your curbside recycling efforts in 2021!

Have a first look at Pine Cove Park!

Pine Cove Park is open and you’ll love it!! We couldn’t find an address on this place, but I’ve included a map at the bottom of this post along with a few locating tips.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for over a year for the fence around this new park to come down, and finally – as of January 31, 2021, there’s no fence and the park it’s open! Harris County has made such wonderful use of this gem of a space located in the Augusta Pines area only a couple of minutes south of The Woodlands.
