Richardson provides weekly curbside trash collection. Most homes have alley pickup. Trash must be out by 7 AM on collection day. Bags may not weigh more than 50 lbs. Non-collection day set-out is prohibited under city ordinance.
Richardson's solid waste collection is governed by Chapter 19 of the Code. Most residential trash is collected at the alley-side property line. Streets with unpaved alleys have front curb collection (parkway between sidewalk and curb). The city ordinance requires trash be set out at the collection point by 7:00 AM on the regular collection day. It is prohibited to leave trash bags at the collection point on non-collection days. Crews will not collect bags weighing more than 50 pounds. The city does not use trash receptacles; residents use bags. Holiday weeks may adjust the schedule.
Leaving trash out on non-collection days is a code violation. Bags over 50 lbs are left behind. Repeated violations result in citations.
