Trash, Recycle & Heavy Trash Pick-up
 
 
Trash and recycle services are provided by one company for the Thousand Oaks subdivision.  The Board of Directors and/or the management company solicits bids to find a provider that best meets the needs of our community.  Only one company is allowed which helps minimize damage to our roads and reduce the total number of days for cans on the street.
 
Currently there are (2) trash pick-up days, (1) recycle day and (1) heavy trash day (same as recycle day).
GFL Environmental (formerly called WCA). Please contact them for your service and individual billing. Tell them you are a Thousand Oaks resident for our special rate.  Phone 281 789-1981.  Service is billed quarterly.  Contact GFL Environmental for the latest rate information.

Septic Information
 
Septic

Each home within Thousand Oaks has it own aerobic septic system.  These systems are required to have a "maintenance contract" with a local certified provider to inspect your system 3 times a year, and file those inspections with Montgomery county.
 
Contract price varies depending on service provider.  You can usually find a provider by looking on your septic system box for a sticker and phone number.
 
For more information on septic systems click here.
