Houston 311

This Memorial Day, the Houston 311 Contact Center honors and remembers the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. 🇺🇸

From all of us at Houston 311, thank you to those who served and to the families who continue to carry their legacy forward.

Memorial Day will affect curbside service for part of the week, with Monday and Tuesday collections moving one day later. All solid waste facilities and administrative offices will be closed for the holiday, including drop‑off and recycling centers. https://ayrs.io/MKWx4p
