Update from Best Trash

After August 31st, 2024, residents can contact customerservice@besttrashtexas.com with a request for a one-time special collection quote. Residents would need to include in their emailed request their District name, address, and a few pictures of their pile, which will be used by Best Trash to provide a quote for debris pickup. Once an agreement for pickup has been reached between the resident and Best Trash, Best Trash will invoice the resident and after payment is received, Best Trash will schedule the pickup which will typically be the following trash pickup day.

Update from BUGCO Pest Control as of June 26, 2024

BUGCO will fog for mosquitoes between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. on Monday and Thursday evenings, weather permitting and in coordination with the City’s concurrent schedule (if applicable). While this practice significantly reduces the mosquito population, it does not eliminate it.

Given the recent rains and high temperatures, conditions are highly conducive to mosquito breeding. Mosquito fogging is restricted by legal limits on the amount of chemicals that can be applied within a calendar year. If the frequency of application is increased to more than twice a week, that limit would be reached as early as September, and treatments would cease sooner than mosquito season ends. To maintain an effective mosquito control strategy throughout the year and minimize disruptions, it is essential to adhere to the current schedule and respond adaptively to environmental conditions.

Best Trash Extends Sympathy and Provides Storm Debris Collection Guidance

Best Trash extends sympathy for all of those affected by the storm. We understand that this is a catastrophic event and that it will take some time for the County to clean up the area. Please note that storm debris is not part of the normal heavy trash collection. Our main focus will be to collect household trash. Please ensure that the storm debris is separate from your regular trash to avoid any confusion.

Regular trash and recycle will be serviced as normal going forward.
