Summary
Celina caps how early bulk trash can hit the curb and puts disposal of construction debris and dead trees on the property owner.
(c) Bulk trash items eligible for pick up shall be placed at the curb no earlier than seven (7) days prior to the scheduled pickup date. ... Brick, broken concrete, lumber, dirt, automobile frames, discarded automobile tires, dead trees, tree limbs and other bulky materials shall be disposed of by the owner.
Full Breakdown
Under City Code § 13.02.003(c), bulk trash items eligible for pickup can't be set at the curb more than seven days before the scheduled pickup date -- so no dragging a couch out a month early. Separately, § 13.02.005 makes the property owner responsible for disposing of brick, broken concrete, lumber, dirt, automobile frames, discarded tires, dead trees and tree limbs; the city's collection program doesn't cover that material. Waste oil from garages and filling stations is likewise the business owner's responsibility to dispose of, not the city's.
Violations & Fines
Placing bulk items curbside more than 7 days early is a class C misdemeanor, fined up to $500 per offense, with each day of continuing violation a separate offense.
