Missouri City provides weekly single-stream curbside recycling to residential customers and prohibits placing non-recyclable contaminants in the recycling cart.
Under the city's solid waste ordinance, residential customers receive a single-stream recycling cart serviced once weekly on the same day as bulk and yard waste pickup. Acceptable items include paper, cardboard, plastics #1 and #2, aluminum, and steel cans. Glass, plastic bags, food waste, electronics, and hazardous materials are prohibited and may cause an entire load to be rejected. The recycling cart must be set out by 7 a.m. and follow the same five-foot separation rule as the trash cart.
