Montgomery County does not provide unincorporated trash service. Residents contract with private haulers (Waste Management, Republic Services, Texas Pride Disposal). Conroe provides municipal collection weekly. The Woodlands uses Waste Management contracted through township.
Montgomery County is not a solid waste authority under Texas Health & Safety Code Ch. 363 and does not provide curbside pickup in unincorporated areas near Willis, Porter, New Caney, or Magnolia. Residents must subscribe to a private hauler — common providers include Waste Management, Republic Services, Best Trash, and Texas Pride Disposal — typically $25-$45/month for weekly service. The City of Conroe provides municipal solid waste collection under Code Ch. 66, with assigned weekly pickup days and holiday schedule adjustments. The Woodlands Township contracts Waste Management for township-wide collection; bins out by 7 AM on assigned day. Illegal dumping on unincorporated roads is a major county enforcement priority — Montgomery County Precinct Constables and TCEQ investigate dumping under TX Health & Safety Code §365.012 (Class C misdemeanor up to felony depending on volume).
Unincorporated illegal dumping: TX §365.012 penalties range $500 Class C to felony for >1,000 lbs or hazardous materials. Conroe missed-bin rules: $50-$200. The Woodlands: Waste Management service disruption, township code notice.
