Residents, please be advised that The Woodlands Township is NOT considering a change in Waste Management services. There is some confusion on social media stating that the Township is changing their contract with Waste Management. This is not true. The misinformation is likely stemming from a city in the area that is changing to a new service.

Celebrate a greener Halloween with The Woodlands Township Environmental Services Department at our fourth annual Pumpkin Smash! Join us Saturday, November 8, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Sterling Ridge Park and Ride for an afternoon of pumpkin-smashing fun. Each year, Americans toss more than a billion pounds of pumpkins into landfills. Instead of sending your Halloween pumpkins to the trash, bring them to our event and give them a second life as compost.
Pick your favorite way to smash: Send your pumpkin flying with our catapult, break it apart with a bat, or watch it burst from a 30-foot drop. Our team will be there to make sure everyone stays safe and has a great time. All smashed pumpkins will be turned into nutrient-rich compost for local gardens, keeping food waste out of the landfill.
Curious about composting at home? Local composting experts will be on-site to answer questions and share info about free upcoming classes. For details, contact Environmental Services at enviro@thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov.
