Notice of Additional Garbage Collection for Winter Storm Debris

Fort Bend MUD 140 is providing additional garbage collection services for its residents in light of the extreme amount of landscape and other debris resulting from the recent winter storm.

On Monday, March 22, 2021, Best Trash will be dedicating a truck for the winter storm debris removal. Items that will be collected include landscape demolition debris, leaves, and any debris that is a result of pipes flooding the home. Leaves will still need to be bagged and placed curbside.

Please ensure the items are out for collection prior to 7am.

The truck that is coming through uses a grapple (the debris being collected with this truck is not being collected by hand) capable of lifting large amounts of heavy debris, so placing the debris curbside is the best option.  Please note that the machine is designed for bulk pickup, so there may be a small amount of residue left behind, which residents will need to place in bags for collection on the next service day.

If there are any questions about this service, please reach out to Best Trash at 281-313-2378 or customerservice@besttrashtexas.com.  Please be sure to let us know you are in FB140-Rivers Edge.

The grapple truck will again come through the District on Tuesday, March 30, 2021.

Additional collection days are tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 6, and Tuesday, April 13, depending on need (as determined by Best Trash based on its observations in the field).

Regular garbage and recycling collection will continue as normal.

COVID-19 Update – Please Bag All Trash

Currently trash & recycle services will continue as normal.

Please refrain from generating additional heavy trash, such as cleaning garages, closets, extra yard work, etc. Due to extra volumes, trash is extremely heavy and our routes are running later than normal. Please be patient as we are doing our best to get all trash collected.

In response to the continuing effects of the Coronavirus and in observance of our employee’s safety, we are asking that all waste be placed in plastic bags and tied off to avoid any need for direct contact with the garbage.

Please continue to place your recycling loose in your container. Please break down all boxes and reduce in size as much as possible. If you exceed the capacity of the container, please bag and place with trash. However, if anyone in your household is exhibiting symptoms of any transmissible illness, please place recyclables in plastic bags and dispose of with your regular garbage.

Please do not call the office. Go to website www.best-trash.com for updates or contact customerservice@besttrashtexas.com.
