Legal disposal of oil filters

I just got back from taking a load of household waste to the Houston Environmental Service Center on Neches Street. Along with some old gas and some aerosol cans, I had some used oil filters. The guy there told me that they don’t take them there. Well, I can live with that – they always think of some reason to not take something. But then he told me that they were just considered trash, and I could just put them in the garbage can at the house. This used to be illegal in Texas. I suspect it still is. I have a call in to 311 to look into it. In the meanwhile, has anyone heard about that law being changed? Is it legit now to toss used oil filters in the trash?

Traveling to Houston for a game

I’m flying in for the Jags game on Sept 12.

This is my first time in Houston so I want to be set up for success.

First questions are around travel. I’m thinking of getting in on Friday night and leaving Sunday night after the game.

Is it a mistake trying to catch a flight out at 6:30pm? Game goes until 4ish, but I see that the airport is kinda far from the stadium. So I would need to stop by the hotel before I get to the airport.

What area of the city is the best part to stay at? I want to go out into the city Friday and Saturday night, so whatever has the right balance for seeing the city, going to the game and getting to the airport. Hotel brand or quality isnt a matter.

Also, how is the atmosphere? Is it really hostile?
