Brazoria County has no bin-placement or set-out-time ordinance in unincorporated areas; follow your private hauler's instructions. Incorporated cities regulate curb placement and when containers may be out. Pearland's Chapter 12 (Solid Waste) sets those container rules inside the city.
Because the county can't zone or run collection in unincorporated areas, there's no ordinance governing where or when to set out containers; timing and placement follow your private hauler's service agreement. What the county can still enforce is the Ch. 343 nuisance standard against uncontained, accumulating refuse. Inside a city the rules are specific: Pearland's solid-waste chapter requires garbage to be kept in approved covered containers, sets where containers go for collection, and treats uncontained garbage, brush, or refuse that creates a health or safety hazard as a prohibited public nuisance. Always confirm curb set-out timing with your city or hauler.
No county set-out ordinance to cite. City container/placement violations carry municipal fines; uncontained refuse that becomes a nuisance can be abated under Ch. 343 in unincorporated areas.
