Pearland requires garbage and recycling carts to be placed curbside with the lid opening facing the street and at least four feet of clearance from any other object during scheduled pickup.
Under the Pearland trash collection program governed by Chapter 12 of the Code of Ordinances, residents must place carts curbside between 5 p.m. the day before pickup and 7 a.m. on collection day. Each cart must be positioned with the lid opening facing the street and the wheels closest to the curb. A minimum four-foot clearance is required between each cart and any object including mailboxes, fire hydrants, parked vehicles, utility poles, or other carts. These rules ensure automated collection arms can access carts safely.
Improperly placed carts may be skipped on collection day. Repeated noncompliance can result in code enforcement notices and fines under Chapter 12.
