Thanksgiving Trash Collection in Sugar Land: Impacts and Schedule Changes
Now that the City of Sugar Land has your attention with * THEIR * lyric change.... the City is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday this Thursday (Nov. 23) and Friday (Nov. 24) and there will be solid waste impacts!
If your solid waste collection day falls on Thursday, it will roll to Friday (kinda like them after that third piece of pie). If your collection day is Friday, it will roll to Saturday. Plus, as an early Christmas present, everyone gets an extra bulky waste day! If your normal bulky waste day is:
1st Monday âž¡ï¸ your extra pickup is Nov. 24th
2nd Monday âž¡ï¸ your extra pickup is Nov. 25th
3rd Monday âž¡ï¸ your extra pickup is Nov. 27
4th Monday âž¡ï¸ your extra pickup is Nov. 28th
Be sure to learn more about these holiday impacts below.
Warm like gravy, karma is a feast getting ready for my belly. Karma is the pie on the stove your grandma made at home for me.

What can and can’t be recycled this Thanksgiving?
*Foil/Foil Containers: You can recycle aluminum foil, plates, trays and disposable cooking ware in the curbside recycling program as long as it is clean and clear of food products. Otherwise, please put it in the garbage.
*Disposable Plates: Consider using regular plates and cutlery this year! If you choose to use paper plates, then they should be placed in the garbage cart after use.
*Cardboard Boxes: Your stuffing mix and pumpkin pies usually come in a box! As long as they are clear of food, these boxes can be recycled.
*Egg Cartons: Foam cartons are not recyclable, but cardboard cartons are! Choose the cardboard option while you are shopping for ingredients for your feast!
*Glass Bottles: Recycle your brown, green and clear glass bottles after toasting with your friends and family!

Other helpful tips:
*Instead of throwing your leftovers away, prevent food waste by sending some home with friends, using things like ham and turkey in other recipes (can you say, turkey gumbo?!), or compost!
*Please please please don’t throw things like fats, oils, or grease down your drain or you’re in for a very inconvenient situation! Either save it to use for other things or utilize their oil drop-off location! Sugar Land Public Works Service Center, 101A Gillingham Lane accepts cooking oil between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, Monday through Friday. Should you need assistance at the drop-off center, please call 281-275-2900. City residents may dispose of up to 10 gallons of liquid cooking oil per day at no charge. The cooking oil recycling center is for residential customers only and includes only liquid cooking grade fats, oils and grease, and not petroleum products. For more information, visit:
