Eagle Springs community has recycled 72 tons of plastics, paper, metal cans, and glass in the first two months of 2010. The recycling service is offered by Residential Recycling ofTexas, Inc. under the direction of the two MUD districts in the community (Harris County MUD 106 and Harris County MUD 290). INTERESTING FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW: You can use any container you’d like for setting recycling out for pickup. If you choose to use a container other than the provided green recycling bins, simply label the containerd. If you want a “recycling” sticker, call Residential Recycling and they will send one to you for your use. You can place your recycling near your garage door rather than at the street. This will help with any confusion between recycling items and the trash pickup items.
