A Woodlands GREEN Going GREEN Sustainability Lecture

Topic:
Grace DeCarlo, Environmental Education Coordinator for The Woodlands Township will discuss the state of curbside recycling in The Woodlands, including participation, diversion, and contamination rates. Using data from their solid waste contractor – Waste Management, Grace will examine changes in our rates over the last 5 years and how they compare to national averages. Beyond traditional curbside recycling, The Woodlands Township offers a host of specialty recycling events and programs. The lecture will examine the success of these programs before looking ahead to new programs launching in late 2025 and beyond.
