Houston Recycling

So I live in the CENTRAL northside (quitman and main) My girlfriend keeps up with the recycling pick up cycles. They are routinely like 2-3-4 weeks off schedule. Does anyone know how to plan or expect any of this?

Alternatively I’ve also heard that most of our recycling becomes trash anyways. Am I just waiting for my recycling to get turned into trash???

Houston subreddit please help a brother out!!!
