Debris Pickup

After the first pass of debris pickup, the County has asked residents to quickly move any remaining debris (i.e. anything in driveways, front lawns) towards the curb (between the curb and the sidewalk). Any debris left on private property (past the sidewalk) will not be picked up. The debris trucks will make multiple passes to pick up debris located between the curb and the sidewalk, but once trucks have completed pickup of debris in the neighborhood, they may not be able to return for several weeks. If you return home and debris trucks have made an initial pass of your property, please attempt to move any remaining debris toward the curb that same day or night.

Bagged Debris is Allowed in Fort Bend County

Fort Bend County has just announced the bagged debris has now been APPROVED for pickup.  Please note, the County will not be allowed to pick up household garbage – so please attempt to keep bagged debris separate from your regular household garbage, which should be set out in containers or separate bags for regular Tuesday/Friday pickup.
