Lewisville, TX Trash & Recycling: Bin Placement Rules (2026)

Lewisville Code of Ordinances Chapter 58 and Community Waste Disposal service guidelines establish specific placement requirements for residential trash and recycling carts. Carts must be positioned at the curb edge with the opening/lid facing the street so the automated collection arm can grip and empty them. A minimum clearance of three feet is required from mailboxes, parked vehicles, utility poles, fire hydrants, and other carts. Carts should not block sidewalks or driveways. The lid must be fully closed with all waste inside the cart. Items protruding from the cart or bags placed beside it will not be collected by the automated truck. Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 PM on the evening before the scheduled collection day and must be set out by 7 AM to ensure collection. All carts must be retrieved and returned to their storage location behind the front building line by midnight on collection day. HOA communities may enforce earlier retrieval deadlines. During high wind events, residents should secure cart lids to prevent debris from scattering. Contact Community Waste Disposal or the city Solid Waste line at (972) 219-3458 for missed pickup reports.
