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

City code sets a strict curbside window for residential garbage, yard waste, brush, and recycling carts: out no earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day before the scheduled collection day, and removed from the curb no later than 11:59 p.m. on collection day itself. Carts must sit at the curb location the sanitation division designates, kept at least five feet from any horizontal obstruction (like a mailbox or parked car) and 13.5 feet from anything overhead, such as low tree limbs or utility lines. Only the service unit assigned to a cart may use it, and trash must be bagged and tied before going in, with the lid closed.
