Curbside collection routes in Houston follow standard holiday schedules. When a major holiday occurs on a weekday, routes generally shift forward by one business day:
In Houston, Odd Months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov) are Tree Waste only (branches, logs, tree cuttings). Even Months (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec) are Junk Waste (furniture, appliances, mattresses).
Under Houston City Code, trash cans and heavy waste cannot be placed at the curb earlier than 6:00 PM on the evening prior to your scheduled collection day.
“Having both text and email reminders saved us from two HOA violation letters this year.”
