In the county's unincorporated solid-waste program, each home gets one 96-gallon cart. Place it within 5 feet of your mailbox by 6:30 AM on collection day, lid opening toward the street, and remove it from the roadside after pickup.
Cameron County's Department of Transportation, Solid Waste Division runs mandatory residential collection in unincorporated areas. Each household receives one 96-gallon container on sign-up. Cart placement is specified: within 5 feet of the mailbox by 6:30 AM, lid opening toward the street, and not blocked by vehicles or obstructions. All solid waste must be bagged and placed inside the container. Containers must be removed from the roadside after collection. Inside incorporated cities, the city or its franchised hauler sets bin rules — the county program does not apply there.
Missed collection, extra cart fees, or non-collection for improperly placed, blocked, or overfull containers; program is billed at a set quarterly rate.
