Fulshear, TX Trash & Recycling: Pickup Rules & Schedules (2026)

When is pick up? Trash and recycling pick up is every Wednesday between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Garbage must be placed on the curb by 7:00 AM to guarantee pick up. Do I have to pay for these services if I don't use them? Ordinance 2023-1409 requires all customers in the City of Fulshear to pay for garbage services whether the service is used or not. In accordance with the Texas Health and Safety Code, the City must ensure sanitary conditions including solid waste services for all residents and businesses of the City. GFL has a contract for garbage services with the City of Fulshear and is the only approved solid waste provider within the City limits. If you choose not to pay for garbage services, you will be in violation of the law and you will be issued a citation. Why once per week pickup? At this time, once per week service is sufficient. Most cities within Fort Bend County only have once per week service. It is too costly for a city of this size and for a number of customers to incur services more than once per week.
