Taylor County, TX Trash & Recycling: Dumpster Rules (2026)

09 of the Taylor County Development Procedures and Regulations governs where a dumpster can sit once it is placed on county right-of-way: all dumpsters on county roads are required to be placed 3-10 feet from the edge of the pavement and the county right-of-way line of property. The rule sits in the same article as the county's driveway and culvert standards, so a contractor or homeowner staging a roll-off for a remodel or demolition along a county road has to keep it inside that 3-to-10-foot band rather than crowding the traveled way or blocking the roadside ditch that Article VIII protects for drainage.

The Precinct Commissioner's office, which issues driveway and ROW permits under Article VII, is the practical contact for placement questions along county roads (325-674-1235). 12 sets a numeric dumpster count for licensed recreational vehicle parks and multi-unit housing developments in the unincorporated county: a minimum of two fly-tight, watertight, rodent-proof dumpsters for the first 100 RV spaces, plus one additional dumpster for each additional 50 spaces or fraction. 09 governs where any dumpster sits relative to a county road, so the two rules answer different questions about the same equipment.
