The event on May 1st was unbelievable! You responded with tons of electronics and thousands of gallons of paint, oil, and antifreeze. If you participated, thank you for doing the responsible thing! If you were not able, but would like to, please let your elected City officials know you would like to see this opportunity more often than once a year. If you are on our mailing list, we always tell you in advance of any recycling opportunities that are coming up. GREAT JOB, KINGWOOD!

Paper Recycling Bins

Most kinds of paper and cardboard can be dropped in the Abitibi green and yellow recycling bins that you will find in the parking lot of most schools and churches: newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogues, junk mail (even envelopes with windows), flattened corrugated cardboard and phone books. (Please, remove all plastic bags.)

Kingwood and Humble Farmer Market
If you love home grown fruits and Vegetables, now is the time to visit the Farmers Market in Kingwood or Humble. Almost all summer produce is in season. Both operate weekly rain or shine: from 3 PM to 7 PM.

Humble, 800 Main Street, Every Wednesday
Kingwood, Town Center Green, Every Thursday

A variety of farmers and small vendors not only offer fruits and veggies, but lots of other home made and local products. The eggs are “to die for” according to one customer. The bread and baked goods are so good the baker usually runs out by 5:30 or 6:00 PM. He says he may have to install an other oven in his bakery.

If you are a Facebook fan, become a fan of the Humble or Kingwood Farmers Markets there for all the latest news.
