🌪️ Hurricane Season is Here – Stay Safe & Follow Waste Guidelines

As we enter peak hurricane season, your safety is our top priority. Please review the following waste collection guidelines to help us serve you efficiently after a storm:

🗑️ First Week After the Storm

• Priority Collection: We focus on removing perishable waste (e.g., spoiled food) due to power outages.
• Regular Trash Pickup: Resumes as conditions allow.
• Lawn Waste: Temporarily suspended during the emergency phase.

🌿 After the Emergency Phase

• Grass Clippings: Use clear or brown paper bags (recommended, not required).
• Household Trash: Use white bags (recommended, not required).
• Important: Keep all bags separate from storm debris. (recommended to be in black bags)

🌳 What Counts as Storm Debris?

Storm debris includes materials from hurricanes, floods, or windstorms, such as:

• Fallen trees, branches, and leaves
• Damaged fences, roofing, or water-damaged household items

🚧 How to Prepare Storm Debris

• Place storm debris at the curb, separate from regular trash.
• Refer to the diagram (see picture) for proper placement.

⚠️ Important Reminders

• Storm debris and construction/remodeling waste are not included in standard trash service.

Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 168 recently completed an initiative to convert the District to smart meters, partnering with Environmental Development Partners (EDP) to bring these devices to the District. Smart meters and related technologies are great tools for water conservation, and greatly improve our water system’s operational efficiency.

The District’s goals are lowering water loss due to leaks, visibility of water usage trends, and immediate reporting and handling of problems that may arise.

Residents can sign up for the “EyeOnWater” web service to monitor water usage as well as receive alerts of potential leaks.

Residents are urged to view provided information and instructional videos by going to:

For sign-up questions you may contact the District’s Operator, EDP, at (832) 467-1599, M-F 8AM-5PM
