Please have trash and recyclables out by 7:00 a.m.
Best Trash will provide garage door service for your household garbage only, which is limited to the kitchen and the bathroom trash. Trash bags or containers must be accessible and visible near your back door or garage.
Best Trash will service resident supplied trash cans or bags between 30-50 gallons in size.
Use of bulky trash cans over 50++ gallons in size (too heavy to lift) are prohibited and will not be collected due to physical constraints of the truck crew members.
Bulk and Yard Debris
Trash such as yard debris, garage cleanout, freezer cleanout and other misc. items must be placed at the curb for collection. Tree branches cannot exceed 4 inches in diameter and not longer than 4 feet and tied and bundled not heavier than 40 lbs. No construction debris!
Recycleable Items
Best Trash will provide garage door service for your recyclables. Everything must be placed inside the 48-gallon green recycle cart-contents to recycle cart only. If it can’t fit inside the recycle cart, please leave your items in a clear plastic bag at the curb.
If you have cardboard that can’t fit inside the recycle cart, please flatten, and leave curbside.
PAPER (including cardboard), PLASTICS (1-5,7), ALUMINUM and TIN cans and GLASS (all colors)
Best Trash takes great pride in our recycle program. Ensuring the best recycle program for our customers takes time and effort on both sides.
- Recycling day is Friday.
- Please remove caps, liquids and food products from inside the containers.
- Please only use the provided recycle cart for recyclable materials. The green cart is NOT an extra trash container and will NOT be emptied as such. If items exceed container capacity, please place them adjacent to the cart well marked as recyclable materials.
- Cardboard is recyclable, please break down all boxes flat, and place them next to the recycle bin for collection.
Cart Care and Maintenance
Lost or stolen recycle carts can be replaced at $85.00 each by calling Best Trash or emailing customerservice@besttrashtexas.com.
Holiday Schedule
If your regular trash collection day falls on a holiday (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day), the collection will be made on the next regularly scheduled collection day.
Collection of Bagged Vegetative Storm Debris
Best Trash will be in the neighborhoods of the PUD collecting BAGGED vegetative/green storm debris. This effort is in addition to our regular Tuesday-Friday collection schedule. The bagged vegetative debris must be placed curbside and cannot be combined with household garbage or construction debris. Bags mixed with trash will not be picked up. The effort is expected to take approximately one week.
Best Trash will not be collecting any piles of loose tree debris. Collection of that debris is ongoing by Harris County Precinct 3. We expect their crews to enter our neighborhoods soon. We thank you for your patience!
Debris Removal Tips
Do you have questions about debris collection? We’ve got answers! Here are some quick tips to get your debris cleared efficiently:
- Sorting is key! For efficient debris removal, follow the debris separation guide below. The precinct will pick up vegetative, construction, and demolition debris, including fences.
- Team up with your neighbors. The bigger the pile, the faster the pickup. Piling debris together reduces collection stops.
- City residents should call 311 for more information regarding debris removal operations.
Did you bag your debris? No worries!
- We will pick up clear bags of debris.
- If you used black bags for your debris, simply remove the contents and place them loose at the curb for collection. Remember, black-bagged debris won’t be collected with disaster debris.
- Alternatively, set the black bags aside for regular trash pickup. Check with your HOA and trash company to verify accepted materials and bag limits.
Remember, crews are making at least three passes through your area, so don’t fret if they miss you at first!
White goods, electronics, and appliances will require proof of registered storm damage for pickup.
Debris Drop-Off Sites Available to Harris County Residents
Precinct 3 has opened five debris drop-off sites for those affected by Hurricane Beryl. These sites are just another option for residents looking to discard their vegetative, construction, and demolition debris free of charge. Crews will still make multiple passes within residential areas to pick up debris.
Drop-off site details below:
- Hours: 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. daily
Debris Type Accepted:
- Vegetative (Leaves in clear bags, logs, plants, tree branches)
- Construction & Demolition (Building materials, carpet, drywall, furniture, lumber, mattresses, plumbing, fencing)
A monitor will be onsite verifying Harris County residency.
Stay tuned for other drop-off sites!
