Houston - Recycling is required across 25 states, but not in Texas,
So it's up to you. If you have a home within Houston city limits, you probably already have your trusty green recycle bin.
If not, it's easy to get one.
Just call 3-1-1.
They'll verify your address and then have a bin dropped off to you.
If you live in an apartment, with no bins or you live outside of Houston city limits, you can recycle by taking items to nearby drop-off areas offered in your town or city. Houston has several sites open to the public with no residential requirements.
