Leander, TX Property Maintenance: Trash Bin Storage (2026)

The City of Leander contracts residential solid waste and recycling service to Al Clawson Disposal, Inc. (ACDI). Standard residential service includes a 95-gallon garbage container and allows up to five additional garbage bags outside the container of no more than 30 pounds each (roughly 30-gallon bags). Recycling is provided in a separate cart collected every other week, while garbage is collected once a week, Monday through Friday. Because collection begins early, the city instructs residents that 'trash collection starts at 7 a.m.' and to have bins at the curb by then. Residents who need additional or replacement carts, or who have questions about container size, contact ACDI at 512-930-5490. Beyond the hauler's service rules, how and where containers are stored on residential property can fall under Leander code enforcement: the city treats conditions such as accumulated trash and debris as nuisances, and storing refuse outside a closed receptacle is a public nuisance under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 342, which Leander's code enforcement relies on. Residents should keep carts in good condition, store them out of public view between collection days where required, and not overload them beyond the cart-plus-five-bags allowance.
