Please note trash pick up is on Tuesdays, and every other Tuesday is for recycling. Regular trash, recycle bins and grass/leaves (in city green bags) can be put out after 6pm on the day before pickup. Heavy Trash Pickup: 3rd Thursday of each month. Pickup alternates each month between tree waste and heavy household items. Items can be placed at the curb on the Friday prior to the Thursday pickup. Tree waste will be picked up on the odd number months and heavy trash items along with tree waste will be picked up on the even number months. Call about electric equipment recycling at 713-560-1155. City of Houston has an app for this; ROLLOUT. Check it out! It works really neat and also alerts you on day of trash pick up.
