Important Notice: Change to Garbage and Recycling Services

Please be aware that changes are coming to your garbage and recycling services. The Montgomery County MUD 18 contract with Waste Management of Texas expires on December 31, 2023. Because Waste Management is changing to semi-automated pick-ups, which would mandate using wheeled bins like the 96-gallon recycling containers, the MUD board felt the new contract would not benefit Bentwater residents. Therefore, we accepted a new contract with Best Trash to provide all of Bentwater’s residential solid waste services, including collection of household garbage, bulk waste, yard waste, and recycling.

With Christmas and New Years falling on Mondays this year, Waste Management’s final pick up will be on Thursday December 28,2023 for trash and recycling. Best Trash’s first pick up will be on Thursday January 4, 2024 for trash and bulk items only. To better serve our residents, Best Trash will pick up garbage and bulk items on Mondays and Thursdays, and recycling will be picked up on Mondays.

Best Trash will provide each household with two 65-gallon containers, one for garbage and one for recycling. Yard waste can be placed in the garbage container or bagged and placed next to it. The same guidelines for garbage and recycling that applied to Waste Management will apply to Best Trash as to what is acceptable for pick up.
Once it is available, we will provide the schedule for delivery of the new containers to each home. There is no charge for these new containers. Since we are approaching the holidays, if you plan on being out of town, please arrange with a neighbor to move the new containers away from the curb. As of this time, we have not heard from Waste Management when they plan to collect the 96-gallon recycling containers. The existing garbage container is yours to keep.

Dear Resident,
The service information card you received with your new recycling cart regarding your recycling day was inaccurate.
We had the cards printed up in advance. It reflected your recycling day as Thursday. This was the only recycling day we had available. Then, at the 11th hour, our General Manager was able to reschedule the recycling crew for Monday. This was the day originally requested by the Board of Directors.
Because of the last-minute schedule change, we did not catch that the information card was incorrect.
Your recycling day is every MONDAY.

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We very much look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,

Kenneth Farrar
Route Manager

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY MUD 18

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY MUD 18

As we indicated in a previous announcement, Bentwater is switching to a new garbage service.
The new provider, Best Trash, will deliver our new bins Monday, December 11 through Thursday, December 14, 2023. Each home will receive a 65-gallon black wheeled container with a red lid for trash, and a 65-gallon green wheeled container for recycling. Monday and Thursday will be our garbage and bulk item pick up days. Monday will be our recycling pickup day. Best Trash will begin its service on Thursday, January 4, 2024. Please have trash and recyclables out to the curb by 7:00 a.m.
There will no garbage pickup on Monday, January 1, 2024.

December 28, 2023 will be Waste Management’s last pickup day for garbage and recycling. Please leave your old recycling bin at the curbside as Waste Management will have a contractor begin picking them up and should be finished by Saturday, December 30, 2023. For those of you who will be out of town or forget to put out your recycling bin, Waste Management will make a final sweep of the neighborhood on January 6, 2024 to retrieve any stragglers.

If you want, you can keep your existing wheeled garbage bin. For those who do not want to keep it, Best Trash will pick it up with the recycling as long as your bin is well marked to be taken away.

Please talk to your friends and neighbors about this important change, especially those who plan on being out of town for the holidays or those who are here only weekends or occasionally. We all need to work together to make this a successful transition.

Susan McFarland, President
Lou Tichacek, Vice President
