For county collection, place your 96-gallon cart within 5 feet of your mailbox by 6:30 AM on collection day, lid opening toward the street, clear of vehicles and obstructions — then remove it from the roadside after pickup.
The Cameron County Solid Waste Division sets specific set-out rules for the unincorporated collection program: the container must be within 5 feet of the mailbox by 6:30 AM on your collection day, with the lid opening facing the street so the automated truck can grab it, and it must not be blocked by parked vehicles or other obstructions. After collection, all containers must be removed from the roadside. Inside cities, the municipality's own placement rules apply instead of the county's.
Missed pickup for carts set out late, placed too far from the mailbox, facing the wrong way, or blocked by vehicles; leaving carts at the curb may draw city or HOA notices.
