Due to the continued inclement winter weather conditions in the City of Houston, and to ensure department employee safety, starting on Wednesday February 17, 2021 the operations at the Neighborhood Depository/ Recycling Centers, Westpark Recycling Center, Environmental Service Center, Reuse Warehouse will be closed. During this time, all recycling, yard waste and junk waste collection services will be suspended as well.

Due to widespread damage to many homes during last week’s winter storm, the Department of Neighbor- hoods (DON) Inspections and Public Service (IPS) division will suspend heavy trash code enforcement, effective immediately through Friday, March 12, 2021 to allow residents adequate time to clear debris from their properties. The department will resume heavy trash code enforcement on March 15, 2021.
