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. posted Aug. 30th, 2011 - 11:20am Interested in curbside service, even where it's not offered now? says: Give Recycling for You a call to see if we can help. 281-251-2777. All recycling accepted. posted Aug. 18th, 2011 - 4:15pm ekuemoah says: Do they pay you for your recycled cans and bottles you turn in? posted May. 7th, 2011 - 10:14pm bk says: I:m just glad to FINALLY hear there is one in Willis!!! We"ve been driving to the woodlands since the Conroe center closed. County REALLY needs to ADVERTISE the spots. posted May. 7th, 2011 - 5:30pm says: Are all recycle bins to be placed out of sight until 6pm the day before? My neighbor has his beside his house visible to me at all times!! posted Dec. 22nd, 2010 - 1:00pm Kathryn says: 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. posted Dec. 17th, 2010 - 5:41pm JJames says: The Conroe recycle center is closed permanately. Does anyone know if they are going to open another?

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. posted Aug. 1st, 2010 - 9:20pm Anonymous says: 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. posted Jun. 17th, 2010 - 8:24pm Blairtx says: 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.
