Lubbock County sets no bin-placement rules. In the City of Lubbock, containers are placed on or near the curbline in front of the property, or in the adjacent alley, in the manner and at the time prescribed by the Department of Sanitation.
The City of Lubbock Solid Waste code directs where containers go for collection: on or near the curbline in front of the premises, or in the alley adjacent to it, as prescribed by the Department of Sanitation. Much of Lubbock relies on alley collection, so containers commonly stage in the alley rather than the street. Owners must keep the alley free of loose garbage. Unincorporated Lubbock County has no placement ordinance because the county cannot zone.
Containers placed contrary to the sanitation department's directions, or left obstructing an alley, are city code violations subject to citation.
