Cedar Hill residents must place trash and recycling carts at the curb with wheels toward the house, handles toward the street, at least three feet from obstructions, by 7 a.m. on collection day.
Cedar Hill's solid waste contractor uses automated side-loader trucks that require carts be set out with adequate clearance. Carts should be placed at the curb with the wheels facing the home and the lid handle toward the street, with at least 3 feet of clearance from mailboxes, parked cars, fences, low-hanging branches, and other carts. Carts must be at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, and may be set out no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before. Bags or loose items placed beside the cart are generally not collected with automated service. Between pickups, carts must be stored behind the front building line or screened from public view as required by the property maintenance code.
