Texas and Montgomery County do not mandate residential recycling. The Woodlands provides single-stream curbside recycling via Waste Management. Conroe offers optional recycling through private haulers. State goal is 40% diversion per TCEQ.
Neither Texas state law nor Montgomery County mandate residential recycling — TCEQ sets a non-binding 40% diversion goal under Texas Health & Safety Code Ch. 361 but no statutory residential recycling requirement exists. Montgomery County has no recycling ordinance for unincorporated areas. The Woodlands Township provides single-stream curbside recycling through Waste Management contract — accepted materials include paper, cardboard, plastics #1-#7, aluminum, steel cans, and glass (check current list as glass was suspended during some contract periods). Conroe residents may opt into recycling through their chosen private hauler. Montgomery County Environmental Services citizens' collection stations accept recyclables free for county residents. TX HB 2896 (2019) preempts local ordinances banning plastic bags and restricts container bans following the Laredo Merchants Ass'n Texas Supreme Court case striking local bag bans.
No mandatory recycling citations in county or unincorporated areas. Woodlands contaminated bin: tagged and skipped by Waste Management. Conroe: no mandatory program, only service-level issues with private hauler.
