Nueces County does not run curbside collection for the unincorporated area, where residents contract private haulers or use county convenience/transfer options. In Corpus Christi, the solid-waste director sets each service location, and collection is taken from the alley when a property adjoins one (§ 21-22).
Texas counties are not required to provide residential garbage collection, so unincorporated Nueces County households generally arrange private hauler service; illegal dumping is handled under state law rather than a county pickup ordinance. Corpus Christi provides city collection under Chapter 21: the director determines the service location, and if a property adjoins an alley the solid waste is collected from the alley unless the alley cannot support collection vehicles. Otherwise waste is collected from the front right-of-way, gutter, ditch, or sidewalk as designated.
Setting waste out at an unauthorized location or time in Corpus Christi is a misdemeanor; the city may refuse collection until corrected.
