Laredo Environmental Services provides weekly curbside trash collection on designated routes. Carts must be placed at curb by 7 AM on pickup day and removed by end of day. Placement more than 12 hours before or after collection violates city code.
The City of Laredo Solid Waste Department collects residential garbage once per week on scheduled routes divided by neighborhood. Each single-family residence receives one city-issued 96-gallon cart. Carts must be at the curb by 7 AM on the collection day with the lid closed and the wheels facing the house. Overfilled carts or bags placed outside the cart may be refused. Collection schedules shift by one day during the week of observed holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. Routes and holiday schedules are published at cityoflaredo.com. Multifamily complexes (5 plus units) typically contract with private haulers and use commercial dumpsters.
Improper placement, early set-out, or failure to retrieve carts timely may result in warnings and fines through Code Enforcement, typically starting at $50 and escalating with repeat offenses.
