Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 383 (HCMUD 383), along with our waste collection provider Residential Recycling and Refuse of Texas (RRRTX), is encouraging residents to assist in working towards being a “greener” district. The goal discussed at our March 2022 regular meeting is to focus on reducing the contamination in recyclables containers to a level of less than ten percent (10%) by volume.
Contamination in containers is caused by placing unacceptable Items for recycling in your recycling bin. By taking steps to rinse out containers, remove items like Styrofoam or greasy/cheesy pizza boxes, and draining/cleaning cans, jugs, and bottles before recycling, residents can help reduce the contamination and additional labor to sort out contaminants at the recycling plant.

Recycling Pickup Guidelines
Accepted Materials for Recycling
Unacceptable Items for Recycling
These items either fall under the hazardous waste umbrella or simply just not recyclable.
For those items unable to be placed into the trash or recycling at curbside, HCMUD 383 residents are encouraged to contact the Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility to coordinate disposal. Please note: the Harris County Engineering Department Website notes the facility is currently operating by appointment only, and appointments can be scheduled online. On that same site, you can find information about all the items they accept as well as disposal tips.
If you have any further questions or concerns regarding the information above, please feel free to contact the District via the “Contact Us” page.
