Business Recycling Program

The City of Houston offers small to mid-size businesses curbside recycling collection in select areas for a small fee.

By recycling more, your business trash volume is reduced. Recycling saves natural resources and energy, reduces air and water pollution, and reduces our community's reliance on landfills.

Join other businesses that are already recycling. For a nominal fee per cart, businesses are eligible to receive a maximum of four 96-gallon green carts to store their recyclables. Included with the cart is information explaining the materials acceptable for collection. The program offers convenient bi-weekly collection with no sorting required.

Three (3), six (6)month and one (1) year terms are available. Recycling Program
