Recycling in Conroe, Texas

Frontier Waste Solutions took over Conroe's trash and recycling on October 1, 2025. Recycling goes in a 95-gallon yellow-lid cart, collected weekly on the same day as trash, and both carts must be at the curb by 6:30 AM. For oil, antifreeze, electronics, appliances, and tires, Montgomery County Precinct 1 runs the Conroe/North Montgomery County Recycle Center at 142 W. Wally Wilkerson Pkwy. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the Conroe recycling cart?

Frontier takes aluminum, steel, and tin cans, plastic bottles (milk, water, detergent, shampoo), clear, green, and brown glass bottles, newspaper, mail, office paper, uncoated paperboard such as cereal boxes, and uncoated cardboard. Plastic bags, ceramics, light bulbs, pizza boxes, paper plates and cups, cookware, food waste, napkins, and plastic utensils stay out. A cart holding a refused item waits until the next pickup day.

Should I bag my recycling in Conroe?

No. Conroe recyclables go loose in the yellow-lid cart, because bags jam the equipment at the sorting facility. Trash is the opposite: bag everything in the trash cart. Close both lids, point the lid openings at the street, leave 4 feet from mailboxes, hydrants, and cars, and keep each cart under 175 pounds.

How does bulk and brush pickup work in Conroe?

Conroe gets one bulk and brush collection per month, and you must schedule it at least two days ahead through the Frontier Waste app (scan the QR code on your cart), frontierwaste.com, or 936-258-9035. Set out up to 8 cubic yards of furniture, boxes, and appliances, with no single item over 50 pounds. Tie tree trimmings in bundles 4 feet or shorter and 40 pounds or lighter.

Where is the Conroe recycling center?

The Conroe/North Montgomery County Recycle Center sits at 142 W. Wally Wilkerson Pkwy, Conroe, TX 77303, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, phone 936-539-7911. It takes #1 to #5 and #7 plastics, food and drink glass, cans, paper, cardboard, used motor oil, antifreeze, appliances, and electronics such as computers and TVs. Sort and clean everything before you arrive.

Where do I take old tires in Conroe?

Frontier refuses tires at the curb and in bulk pickup, so take old tires to the Precinct 1 recycle center on W. Wally Wilkerson Pkwy. Passenger and light truck tires cost $4.00 off the rim and $9.00 on the rim. Heavy truck tires cost $10.00 off and $15.00 on. The center takes credit cards only.

How do I get rid of an old refrigerator or AC unit in Conroe?

Schedule appliance pickup with Frontier at least 2 days before your bulk day. Appliances that held Freon need the Freon removed by a licensed technician, with the certificate sealed in a plastic bag and taped to the front of the appliance. The Precinct 1 recycle center also takes refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters, and AC units on weekdays.

•Frontier skips collection on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and picks up the following day.
•Put old personal cans out with scheduled bulk pickup and add the note "Please Dispose" in the app, but call WM at 866-684-3146 to remove old WM carts.
•Paint only goes to the Precinct 1 center during its scheduled events, and it refuses aerosol cans, propane tanks, Styrofoam, and plastic film year round.
