How to Dispose of Lumber / Wood in Houston, TX
In Houston, lumber follows the same verified program pathway as construction debris. Houston heavy-trash rules limit building materials on residential junk-waste set-outs and require loose materials such as sheetrock to be bagged. Contractor debris is the contractor’s responsibility. Keep paint/chemicals for ESC HHW.
