Appliances
Allied Waste will no longer pick up appliances that were designed to contain refrigerants (freezers, refrigerators, air conditioning units) unless they have been certified by a professional to be free of refrigerants. Allied Waste maintains a list of vendors that can provide this service. (Allied Waste can be reached at 713-937-9955.)
Residents also have the option of taking uncertified appliances to the Fort Bend County Recycling Center located in Rosenberg where they are accepted for a $10 charge. Appliance stores also typically will take old appliances with the purchase of new ones.
Ashes
Allow ashes to cool and then seal them in a plastic bag before putting them in your trash. This will help prevent injuries to crew members, and litter in your neighborhood.
Auto Body Parts
Automotive parts are not accepted for curbside pickup. Please contact a junk yard or a metal recycler to dispose of an auto body part.
Automotive Fluids
Residents should take household quantities of automotive fluids and oil filters to the Fort Bend County Recycling Center for safe disposal. Do not mix the fluids together. Avoid having to dispose of automotive fluids by buying only what you need.
Motor oil and some filters can be recycled at a number of locations around town. You can find these locations at Earth 911 or by calling your local automotive repair shop or parts store.
