Residents of Northwest Harris County MUD No. 5,

Best Trash is the current trash and recycle provider.

HAYDEN LAKES, WILDWOOD at OAKCREST N. and OAKCREST have curbside trash collection on Monday and Thursday with once weekly curbside recycle collection on Monday.

All other sections have curbside trash collection on Tuesday and Friday with once weekly curbside recycle collection on Tuesday.

Trash

On each regularly scheduled collection day, Best Trash will collect residential refuse in bags placed inside in resident supplied cans between 30 to 50 gallons in size, weighing no more than 40lbs each item.  Please have the trashcans placed at the curb prior to 7am on collection days.

Excluded Items

Dirt, rocks, bricks, tile, concrete, tires, batteries, motor oil, cooking oil, construction debris, or waste generated by a private contractor, or any materials or items deemed hazardous materials.   Please do not dispose of gasoline, motor oil, paints, cooking oil, or any other liquid items in a container that are not visible to Best Trash personnel.  If such items result in spillage that causes a stain, Best Trash is not responsible for the cleanup.  Best Trash will leave a tag explaining the reason for any non-collected item(s).

Heavy Trash

Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be no larger than 4 inches in diameter, no more than 4 feet long, tied in bundles not exceeding 40 pounds. The tied bundles are required to allow quick pick up and size limitations are required to avoid damaging the equipment in the compacting process.  Items such as appliances, furniture, mattresses, carpet (up to 1 room of carpet, cut less than 4 feet wide, tied in bundles not exceeding 40 pounds), will be picked up on both garbage collection days.  By Federal Law, refrigerators, freezers, and any other items containing Freon must be drained of Freon and have an accompanying bill to validate such service was performed.

Recycleable Items

PAPER (including cardboard), PLASTICS (1-5,7), ALUMINUM and TIN cans and GLASS (all colors)

Best Trash takes great pride in our recycle program.  Ensuring the best recycle program for our customers takes time and effort on both sides.  Please remove caps, liquids and food products from inside the containers.  If items exceed the bins capacity, please place them adjacent to the bin well marked as recyclable materials.  Cardboard is recyclable, please break down all boxes flat, and place them next to the recycle bin for collection.

Recycle Bins

Best Trash will provide each current residence with ONE recycling bin.  Best Trash will replace any bins that are defective or otherwise become unusable due to normal wear and tear.  Lost or stolen bins can be replaced for $20.00 each by emailing customerservice@besttrashtexas.com.

Holiday Schedule

If your regular trash or recycle collection day falls on a holiday (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day) the collection will be made on the next regularly scheduled collection day.
