Fort Bend County hosts scheduled household hazardous waste, electronics, and bulk disposal collection events for residents at designated precinct locations throughout the year.
Fort Bend County operates periodic Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection events through the Road and Bridge Department and county precincts. Residents can dispose of paint, batteries, tires (limited quantity), electronics, and bulk yard waste at these events. Proof of Fort Bend County residency is required. Bulk pickup at the curb is not provided by the county; private contracts dictate bulk service. Items like construction debris, commercial waste, and large appliances with refrigerant typically require special handling.
Dumping bulk items on roadsides or vacant lots is illegal dumping under state law, with penalties starting at $500 and rising to felony charges for larger volumes.
