Summary
Round Rock requires weekly curbside collection for every residential property, with carts due at the curb by 7 a.m. on pickup day and pulled back in by 7 p.m. the next day.
The city or its contractor will collect refuse from residential customers once weekly and it shall be the duty of any person owning, occupying, managing, operating, leasing or renting any residential premises to place the refuse carts at the curb on the street prior to 7:00 a.m. on the day established for collection, but no earlier than 7:00 a.m. the day prior to the established collection day. Refuse containers shall be removed no later than 7:00 p.m. on the day after the collection day.
Full Breakdown
City ordinance puts the collection duty on whoever owns, occupies, manages, or rents a residential property: carts go out no earlier than 7 a.m. the day before pickup and must be at the curb before 7 a.m. on collection day itself. Once emptied, containers can't sit at the curb, they must come back in by 7 p.m. the following day and be stored behind the front building wall of the house the rest of the week. The city or its contracted hauler collects once weekly; there's no opt-out for single-family residential service.
Violations & Fines
Carts out too early, left at the curb past 7 p.m., or stored in front of the house year-round violate the code and can draw a code enforcement citation.
