Automated garbage service is provided twice a week. Recycling service is provided once a week. Standard garbage service utilizes a 95-gallon grey cart and recycling utilizes a 65-gallon green cart.
On your collection day, set your carts out by 7 a.m. but no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before.
Don't know your garbage and recycle collection day?
When taking out your garbage and recycling carts, remember:
Ensure all materials fit in the cart. Only items placed inside the cart will be collected.
Always keep the lid shut.
Carts should be placed at the base of the curb (where curbs exist) with the cart wheels against the curb.
Cart handles should be facing away from the street. Lids should open to the street.
Carts should be placed at least three feet apart to ensure the collection truck can service both carts.
After your collection takes place:
Return your carts to your property no later than 8 a.m. on the morning following the day of collection.
Carts must be stored on your property, in compliance with deed restrictions. Do not store your cart in the alley or on the street.
The cart remains the property of the City of Sugar Land. It is yours to use while participating in the program. If you move, leave the cart at the residence.
