Trash Collection

 

 

 

 

 

 

On this page you will find all necessary information regarding your trash service.  Should you have questions, please call the Waste Management Service Hotline at 979-239-1431 or 979-239-1378.

 If you requested a new or replacement polycart, one will be delivered to you in about 7-10 days.  During this period, you may place your bags of trash at the street for pickup.

You will receive polycart trash service twice a week at the street.  Please find your area of town below to determine your designated trash days.  Place only household trash in your polycarts.  All other items are considered debris and are not serviced in the polycarts.  Your polycart should be placed at the street on your designated trash day by 7:00 am and must be removed from the street by 7:00 pm the same day.  Your trash should be placed with the opening facing the street.  Do not place the polycart within five feet of your mailbox or any other item that might block the truck from servicing.  If a vehicle is parked in the street in front of your residence, under most circumstances, this will keep the garbage truck from servicing your can.

Debris service is provided for all residential customers.  If you have an alley, all debris must be placed at the alley.  If you do not have an alley, all debris should be placed at the street.  It must be bagged, boxed or contained in some fashion and stacked neatly.  Cardboard boxes should be torn down flat.  Examples of debris consist of: cardboard boxes, lumber, metal, clothes, any appliance that has been tagged by a professional as having the Freon removed, soil, dirt, concrete, limbs and brush.  Once a week a truck will travel down your alley (or street in some cases) and pick up small piles of trash.  Twice a month a larger truck will come by for large piles or heavy items.  No single piece of debris should weigh over 50 lbs.  Limbs must be trimmed to be less than 4 feet and all stumps and limbs should be cut up to weigh less than 50 lbs also.  Waste Management will not pickup items that are considered environmentally hazardous such as tires, batteries, paint and appliances that have not had Freon removed by a licensed technician.

 Debris service is not provided to commercial accounts.
