Humble regulates trash bin storage and placement for residential properties. Bins should be placed curbside on designated collection days and returned to a non-visible location after collection. Bins left at the curb outside collection periods may result in code enforcement action.
Humble requires residents to place trash and recycling bins at the curb on designated collection days. Bins should be placed by the curb no earlier than the evening before collection and retrieved by the evening of collection day. Between collection days, bins should be stored in a location not visible from the street, such as behind the house or in the garage. Overflowing bins that create litter are a code violation. Bins must not block sidewalks, driveways, or street drainage. Republic Services provides residential waste collection for Humble. Residents are responsible for maintaining their bins in usable condition. Damaged bins can be replaced by contacting the waste hauler. Bulk items and large debris require separate scheduling. Contact Code Enforcement at (281) 446-4331 for complaints about bin storage violations.
Leaving bins at the curb outside collection periods may result in a code enforcement notice and subsequent citation. Overflowing bins creating litter violations can lead to fines. Bins blocking sidewalks or drainage are subject to correction notices. Repeated violations may result in escalating penalties.
