The county sets no curb rule. In the City of Galveston, brush, tree limbs, and other wastes are collected from alleys and curbsides only, and carts must be kept clean and set out so crews can reach them.
Texas counties do not set trash set-out rules; in unincorporated Galveston County this follows your private hauler's contract. In the City of Galveston, Sec. 15-5 collects brush, tree limbs, and other wastes from alleys and curbsides only, and Sec. 15-3 requires city-issued carts be kept clean with clear surroundings. League City's collection contract likewise specifies the type of containers and their placement for collection. Follow your city's or hauler's placement times so bins and brush are accessible on your scheduled collection day.
Galveston may withhold or suspend collection service for improperly placed or overfilled refuse until the problem is corrected (Sec. 15-3, 15-8).
