Cameron County runs a mandatory residential collection program in unincorporated areas: each household must have service, billed at $93.30 per quarter (before tax), with one 96-gallon cart and set collection days. Inside cities, the city or its hauler provides pickup.
The Cameron County Department of Transportation, Solid Waste Division requires that each residential household in the unincorporated area have solid-waste service. Cost is $93.30 per quarter before tax, and each home receives one 96-gallon container on sign-up. All waste must be bagged and placed in the cart, set out by 6:30 AM within 5 feet of the mailbox on your assigned collection day (see the county's collection map). Because Texas counties can't compel a single hauler everywhere, incorporated cities (Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito, Port Isabel) arrange their own municipal or franchised trash service.
Continued billing regardless of use since service is mandatory; non-collection for late set-out, blocked, or improperly bagged waste.
