WELLS BRANCH MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT- SOLID WASTE SERVICES -
Dear Wells Branch MUD,
IESI is pleased to continue as your solid waste service provider. IESI will service the Wells Branch MUD on WEDNESDAY for trash and recycling. In an effort to better serve you, we request that you have your trash and recycle bin out by the curb NO LATER THAN 7 AM. Collections will ONLY occur between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., when school is in session, to ensure that collection vehicles are NOT in the District during non-school hours. The hours may be changed to 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. from June 1 to August 10. Your area may be serviced with automated trucks, which do have some special requirements. As such, we ask that the trash container be within two feet of the edge of the street or at the curb. Please place the recycle bin a couple of feet from the trash container. You will find that when the trucks pick up and return your container, the lid will be automatically closed. We believe this not only looks better than an open container, but it also ensures that your container does not fill with any rain water.
BULK ITEMS AND BRUSH: IESI does accept bulk items and they must be by the curb on trash day by 7 a.m. In addition, the MUD also offers a Clean-Up Day every 2nd Saturday of the month at 13905 Thermal Drive from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Brush items and compost materials are serviced by TexaScapes on Mondays and Tuesdays. Brush and limbs must be no more than 6 feet long and bundled. These items must also be placed by your curb no later than 7:00 a.m.
UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS which IESI will not pick up: Brush and yard waste, refrigerators, dryers, washers, air conditioners, freezers, mattresses or any other item containing CFCs unless properly tagged from a licensed refrigerant technician.
The following holiday procedures are observed by IESI:
- IESI currently recognizes New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day as holidays.
- When regular collection day is prior to a holiday, the solid waste will be collected as scheduled on the regular collection day prior to the holiday.
- When a regular collection day falls on a holiday, during the business week, then the collection will be moved to the next day.
- Holiday schedules are subject to approval by the MUD. Observance of holidays will not prevent IESI from maintaining weekly schedules.
- Alternative schedules will be formulated and communicated in advance to the MUD.
- In all cases, 2 weeks prior to any holiday, approved holiday schedules along with procedures for missed holiday pick-ups will be published and advertised in the WORD newsletter, on all 3 marquees and the MUD’s webpage prior to the holiday observance.
