Precinct 3 Residential Recycling Facility Reopens to Public

SPRING, TX -- The Montgomery County Precinct 3 Residential Recycling Facility reopened to the public Wednesday, July 17.

The Recycling Facility now is accepting all regular items and is maintaining normal operating hours – 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday (closed 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily for lunch) at 1122 Pruitt Road, Spring, TX 77380.

The Recycling Center had been closed and without power since Hurricane Beryl ripped through the region Monday, July 8. While power has been working intermittently at the facility, crews were able to start accepting items again today.

In addition, Recycling crews will continue to man the residential vegetative storm debris drop-off site across the street from Recycling for the time being.

The Recycling Center is for use by Montgomery County residents only. Valid proof of residency is required. No contractor debris is accepted.

In addition to the Recycling Center and residential debris drop-off site, contractor CrowderGulf started removing residential vegetative storm debris Tuesday, with trucks and crews working in communities across Precinct 3.
