 Safely Dispose of Personal Documents

This one-day event offers a convenient and secure way to dispose of personal documents, helping to protect against identity theft.

 Limit Parking on Residential Streets
With increased visitors due to holiday gatherings, residents need to be mindful of street parking as it can have an impact on response time for emergency vehicles.
Average resident streets in The Woodlands are between 22 to 24 feet wide. An average vehicle is approximately 6.5 feet wide and emergency vehicles, school buses and garbage trucks are between 8 to 9 feet wide. We urge residents to consider room for all types of vehicles to safely pass through.
Please avoid parking in the street so first responders can respond to emergencies as quickly as possible.
