The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
The right of way window is set by ordinance
Nothing goes into the street right of way before noon the day before collection, carts have to be out no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, and the emptied cart has to be off the right of way by 8 a.m. the following morning. Carts go at the curb with the wheels facing the house and the lid opening toward the street, four feet apart and four feet clear of mailboxes, cars and posts, and they stay at the curb until the end of the collection day because the arrival time can change.

The recycling cart takes plastics 1, 2 and 5, glass bottles and jars, metal cans and clean paper including cardboard and cartons, loose and with no bags. It does not take batteries, electronics, tires, scrap metal or wood, styrofoam, plastic bags and wrap, shredded paper, tanglers such as cords and hoses, food soiled items, ceramics, diapers, cups, hazardous waste or medical waste, and plastic bags go back to the grocery store. The county center takes several of those items, including electronics, tires, scrap metal, batteries and hazardous waste, and it refuses mattresses, furniture and plain trash.

A refrigerator or freezer set out as bulky waste must have its refrigerant and doors removed, with a tag from a professional placed on the item, and the load stays within the five cubic yard daily limit. A household that would rather haul the unit can take it to the Fort Bend County Recycle Center, where an appliance without refrigerant costs less per unit than one that holds it.
