Richardson uses Community Waste Disposal (CWD) for curbside service; bins may be placed at the curb after 6 p.m. the evening before pickup and must be removed by 7 p.m. on collection day.
Richardson contracts with Community Waste Disposal (CWD) for weekly residential solid waste, bulky, and recycling collection. Residents receive a 96-gallon brown trash cart and a 96-gallon blue recycling cart. Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before the scheduled collection day and must be removed from the curb by 7 p.m. on collection day, then stored out of view from the public right-of-way, typically behind a fence or in a side yard, between collections. Carts must be set at least 3 feet apart and 5 feet from mailboxes, parked cars, and low-hanging wires so automated side-loader trucks can service them. Overloaded carts, lids that will not close, or commingled trash in the recycling cart are grounds for non-collection. Violations of placement or storage rules are enforced through code compliance with warning letters before fines.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Richardson code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
