HomeMy WebLinkAboutUBI 2018 MAY_JUNEPLACING BINS FOR PICKUP
Garbage and recycling containers
must be placed at the curb in front of
your residence before 8 a.m. on your
designated collection day. Remember
to place bins with both wheels pointed
toward the curb. Lids should be closed
at all times. Because our sanitation and
recycling trucks use an automated arm
to lift and empty bins, do not place your
containers closer than four feet from
other containers, mailboxes, cars or trees.
Other obstructions that can result in your
bin not being collected include placing
it under low-hanging tree limbs, cable/
electrical wires or over water/gas meters.
Per city ordinance, you must remove your
garbage and recycling containers from
the curb within 12 hours of collection.
SANITATION COLLECTION
Garbage should be bagged, tied and
securely stored in your container. Do
not pile bags or trash on top or around

The city’s continued rapid growth
requires adjustments to collection
routes and schedules, especially
recycling. The changes that take
effect July 2 will reduce the number
of missed collections that often occur
when trash bins and recycling bins
are so close to one another (or to a
different obstruction) that our driver
cannot safely or efficiently perform the
required task.

MAY-JUNE 2018
your container or the sanitation truck’s
automated arm will not be able to
collect it. Items too large to fit in your
garbage container should be neatly
placed on the curb for bulky collection.
BRUSH AND BULKY
Bulk collection is meant for items too
big to fit in your garbage container
such as furniture, non-Freon containing
household appliances, etc. It does not
include bags of household garbage.
Please consider donating your gently
used items before placing them on the
curb. Some non-profit organizations will
even it pick it up for you. Brush collection
includes tree limbs, shrubs, woody vines,
and other herbaceous or woody plants.
Brush should be cut into a maximum
of 8-foot lengths. Brush and bulk items
should be divided into separate piles and
neatly stacked within three feet of the
curb in front of your home.
RECYCLABLES
Citizens with blue, single-stream recycling
containers collected by Brazos Valley
Recycling are encouraged to review the
list of acceptable items printed on top of
each container. Only clean items should
be placed in your recycling container.
Anything not on the list should be put in
the garbage. Shredded paper is the only
recyclable that should be placed in clear
plastic. Bagging other items isn’t necessary
and could also cause significant and
costly damage to the sorting equipment.
