The Whitehouse Large Item Roundup ( also known as Clean Whitehouse Day ) is fast approaching, and the weather is perfect to go through your house and look for those broken, outdated and replaced items such as appliances, furniture, outdoor furniture and grills, mattresses and toys, according to Event Coordinator Eddie Ray. In addition to these items, a whole new set of items are now being accepted, electronic stuff! A local company, STS Electronic Recycling will have a truck on site for residents wishing to drop off old and broken electronic equipment. Items such as monitors, computers, cell phones, radios, fax machines, digital cameras and more are accepted. A full list of items accepted is below this article. Tires are welcome too, for a $2 disposal fee. Yard waste, construction debris, paints and chemicals are NOT ALLOWED.
The Whitehouse Large Item Roundup is scheduled for Saturday, March 24th from 8:00am – 12:00pm at the Whitehouse Recycle Center, on Railroad Avenue south of FM 346. This is a twice yearly event sponsored by the City of Whitehouse and Keep Whitehouse Beautiful for the benefit of Whitehouse residents.

Don’t Forget To Recycle this Christmas!
Every Christmas season, the amount of waste increases greatly due to boxes, wrapping paper, and live Christmas trees.
This year, let’s continue to Keep Whitehouse Beautiful by recycling most of our holiday leftovers! Both cardboard boxes such as gift boxes and / or shipping boxes can be recycled at the Whitehouse Recycle Center as well as wrapping paper, without the bows and ribbon, of course. No Styrofoam or cellophane, either, please!
As for live Christmas trees, they are not being accepted this year at the Recycle Center, but that doesn’t mean you should put yours in the garbage, as IESI is not accepting them either. There are 2 places in Tyler that are accepting live Christmas trees: Golden Road Park at the intersection of McDonald & Golden Roads and Fun Forest Park in the 900 Block of North Glenwood Boulevard. Collection for LIVE trees only begins the Monday after Christmas and lasts until January 8th. Trees must be free of all decorations, garland, tinsel and NOT be flocked.
There’s quite a demand for live Christmas trees, as they become habitats for fish in the area lakes. Now that’s recycling at it’s BEST!
The Whitehouse Recycle Center is located on Railroad Avenue, just south of FM 346. They are open the first and third Saturdays of each month, 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and every Wednesday, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Check out the Recycling tab on our homepage for more items accepted at the Recycle Center.
