A mandatory recycling program launched on Monday, October 11, 2010 in the city of Conroe and families are truly excited to have this opportunity to make a difference in their city and local environments!

Sue Dufor, owner of a local printing company, has embraced recycling for many years and has been separating recyclable material from regular trash for a while in preparation for the new recycling program. “Our hope is that other families will follow our lead and prepare themselves for the mandatory recycling program,” she explains.

The city is very serious about the new program and strongly encourages residents to place recyclable items in the appropriate bins. If not in compliance, residents have the possibility of facing a Class C misdemeanor fine of up to $500.

The recycling program has been set in place with the hopes of making the community more eco-active and making the world a cleaner, better place to live.
