Your cans

Texas Pride does not supply a cart here — you provide your own, or buy one from them.

• Nothing larger than 95 gallons.
• Nothing smaller than 20 gallons, and nothing that was not built to be a trash can.
• No drums or barrels. They are not collected, and they get disposed of.
• No can or bag over 50 pounds.
• Bag household rubbish before it goes in the can.

Recycling

Collected every Friday.

Do not bag your recyclables. Put them in the recycling container dry, clean and loose. Bagged recycling comes back out of the load.

Empty containers and get the food and liquid out first, and flatten cardboard so it does not overfill the container.

Check Texas Pride's current recycling guidance rather than guessing — one wrong item can spoil a whole load.

Heavy trash

Two heavy items every service day — Tuesday and Friday both count.

Furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters, fencing, trampolines, basketball goals and carpet all qualify.

• Water heaters must be drained.
• Refrigerators and freezers must have the Freon drained by a certified technician, and you need the bill to show it was done.
• Fencing, decking and siding: pull the nails out, cut to 4 feet or less, tie into bundles under 50 pounds. Limit of eight bundles.
• Carpet: cut to 4 feet or shorter, tied into bundles under 50 pounds. Limit of eight bundles.

Anything large, unusual or over the limit — ring Texas Pride before you put it out, not after.

Yard waste

• Grass clippings go in bags or containers under 50 pounds. Limit of eight bags per service day.
• Branches: limit of eight bundles per service day, nothing over 6 inches in diameter, cut to 4 feet or less and tied.

What is not collected

Dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, liquid paint, fuel, oil, tires, pesticides, fertilizer, batteries, hazardous waste, and anything a contractor generated.

Never hide a liquid in a can. Paint, fuel and oil leak, stain the street and damage the truck.

Chemicals, batteries and tires

None of these go in your cans or your heavy trash. They go to the Fort Bend County Recycling Center, 1200 Blume Road, Rosenberg. Check your options and confirm what they accept, any fees, proof-of-residency rules and opening hours before you drive out.

Holidays

Check before a holiday week. The association's page and Texas Pride's own page do not list the same holidays, so this page will not pick one. Read Texas Pride's current holiday notice before you put anything at the curb, and do not assume a missed holiday collection gets made up.

Who handles what

Texas Pride Disposal handles trash, recycling, heavy trash and missed collections: 281-342-8178, service@texaspridedisposal.com, or their support page.

Water and sewer is the district, through Si Environmental, on 832-490-1600. That line is not for collection complaints.

The association handles deed restrictions and community matters — not the bins.

When you report a missed collection, have your address, which service was missed, the date it was due, what happened, and a photograph if there is one to take.
