Have you just purchased a home or relocated to League City? Residents of League City, Texas are fortunate to have garbage pick-up twice a week. Recycling pick-up is once a week and items to be recycled should be placed in the red bins that are provided by the recycling contractor.
Check with your neighbors or call AmeriWaste at 281.585.3200 for garbage/recycling pick-up days on your street. Cans and bins should be placed at the curb. If you do not have one of those red recycling bins, you may pick one up at City Hall, 300 West Walker St., the front desk receptionist can direct you. They don't always have them so you may want to call first at 281-554-1000. If you see that digital sign with League City activities a little south of Main Street on Highway 3 you are at the right place. City Hall is next to the City Library.
Items Accepted for Recycling:
PAPER: Newspaper, cardboard (flatten it), magazines, corrugated paper and packaging materials. Basically all sorts. I keep a bag just inside the garage for junk mail and every week it gets full!
CANS: Aluminum, tin and steel cans are accepted.
METAL: You can recycle aluminum foil and some scrap metal.
PLASTIC: Look on the bottom of your item for numbers 1 through 7. Some acceptable containers include milk, water, juice, shampoo and detergent bottles or jugs, soft drink bottles, and polystyrene food containers, cups and plates.
DO NOT Place GLASS items in the red bin. Employees manually load the contents of your bin into the truck and employees manually sort the incoming items. Broken glass is a hazard for them.
If your regular Recycling day falls on a holiday, that week's pickup will be skipped, and pickup will occur the week after.
To Recycle GLASS: You can bring glass recycling items yourself to the collection site at League City Public Works, 1535 Dickinson Avenue. What a fun family fieldtrip this could be with the theme of environmental responsibility.
You can also drop off GLASS 24/7 at: City of Houston Recycling at Ellington Field, Highway 3@ Dixie Farm Road.
The Vehicle Maintenance Department, also located at 1535 Dickinson Avenue, is the place where residents can bring their used oil, oil filters and antifreeze. Open Monday - Thursday from 7:00 am until 4:30 pm, and on Friday from 7:00 to 11:00 am. Please check in at the front office of Vehicle Maintenance before leaving your items.
Heavy Trash pickup is the second garbage pickup day for each subdivision.
For example: If your garbage days are Tuesday & Friday. Heavy Trash pickup would be on Friday.
If you're looking to unload a refrigerator, air conditioner or other cooling device, you'll have to deal with Freon disposal as well. The item must be tagged by the freon removal company before it will be picked up.
For recycling question please call AmeriWaste at 281-585-3200.
