Special Pick up for Storm Debris

Wednesday, March 24th WCA will be providing a special pick up for storm debris.

The following are general guidelines:

  • Items must be at the curbside by 7:00 AM.
  • Construction material will be picked up. Such as sheetrock, insulation, wood, flooring, carpet (rolled up and bound, no wider than 4 feet, and does not weigh more than 40 pounds, etc.).
  • Please keep in mind that helpers will be physically loading these items in the truck by hand. If items are stacked too high, they will not be unable to load those items in the truck.

WCA Joins GFL Environmental Group

WCA has joined the GFL Environmental group of companies. This change will not affect you as the customer, there will be no change in the service you are currently receiving from WCA.

What will change over the upcoming months, is our branding. At some point, the trucks, will be green trucks with the GFL logo. Crews will be in your community to place a sticker with the GFL logo over the WCA logo on the carts, for your household waste and recycle. Eventually, as carts need to be replaced the carts will be GFL carts. The crew’s uniform will change as well.

District Security

The Board of Directors of Big Oaks MUD has approved terminating its contract with the Precinct 2 Constable’s office effective September 30, 2020, and entering into a contract with the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s office to provide security services to the Twin Oaks Village and West Oaks Village subdivisions.

The Board hopes this will improve security in the District.
