It says not to recycle the caps on plastic water and soda bottles. Do you throw them in the regular garbage? What about the plastic rings that are left after your remove the cap. Do those stay on?

I was referring to the Woodlands location on Pruitt Rd. in my previous post. And the rest of the staff is great. So friendly with the exception of the one man. I really don\'t know what I\'ve done, people are out of their cars and have things in one bin in cars ahead of me everytime. Yet, I can\'t do these things? Seems odd and quite silly.

I dread taking my items. There is a man, about 30yrs. old, brown hair who is constantly telling me I\'m doing something wrong. I can\'t get out of my car to show them what to take, I have to bring my items in separate bins, etc. There is never any trouble when other people help me.

They tossed out my library donation items and my library books. I had to pay $63 for the books. It\'s a shame. My area doesn\'t have recycled item curbside pickup and I try to do my best. It is a shame this one person is making it difficult to donate.

How much do they charge for monitors and/or other items at The Pruit/The Woodlands center?
I know they charge $3.00 per gallon of paint but what else do they charge for?

They do let you recycle some things even if you live in Harris County. I dropped a huge van load full of cardboard there today and they didn't flinch when I gave them my Harris County zip code. I guess they don't let you use their household hazardous waste service, though, since that costs them money.

I just wish the Conroe Center didn't have to close.It was such a great place and I recycle for 3 other people and now have to drive to Willis or Spring to Recycle.I sell my cans to help pay for my gas, buys about one gallon. I take my papers to the Montgomery Humane Society. Guess the Center was too expensive to keep up. I would have worked there for free.

This place is great. Staff is friendly and organized. Love having this resource!

There is The Woodlands Recycling Center off of Research Forest near TW Rec Center if you are not in Montgomery county, but are still in the Woodlands.

Too bad they don't include access to all of the residents of the Woodlands - just those who live in Montgomery county. And since a portion of the Woodlands is in Harris county, we are left out of having access to this resource.

This is a great resource, I have old computer equipment to drop off, they do charge a small fee to recycle monitors, printers and other electronics.
