Trash Collection

Collection Days/Times:
 
Mondays and Fridays are normal collection days in Bentwater. Accepted items for curbside collection include household garbage, grass clippings, leaves, branches and tree trimmings. A residence is limited to a maximum combination of 15 bags/cans/bundles on each collection day. Please be sure your garbage is set out by 7:00AM on these days.
If a holiday falls on the scheduled day, there will be no collections on the holiday. The next collection will be on the next regularly scheduled day. The following holidays are recognized by Waste Management: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Christmas Day.

Bulk or Heavy Trash Collection:

This additional curbside service is provided each Friday. It includes collection of bulky items and white goods such as moving boxes (please break them down and bundle them), old furniture and appliances. No items containing CFC refrigerant can be accepted. Residences are limited to two “heavy” items each week.
 

Recycling Collection:

Curbside recycling services are provided each Friday. Waste Management uses single stream recycling which allows customers to mix recyclable items in one container. Accepted items for recycling include newspaper/paper, magazines, junk mail, 12 X 12 cardboard, tin/steel/aluminum cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic (codes 1,2,3,4,5,7). This pickup will be done by a different vehicle and crew from the pickup for normal collection. To utilize this service, residents must use a 96 gallon container provided by Waste Management. If you do not have the required container and wish to participate, call 713-686-6666 to order a container.
