More about this rule

The rule in plain language

The residential service generally covers single-family homes and properties with up to four units. Austin tells customers to set carts out by the published collection time, leave clearance around carts, and keep prohibited or special materials out.

Common follow-up questions

What should I do first?

Confirm the address's collection day and service provider, then follow the City's current cart placement and material rules.

What can change the answer?

Address, property type, holiday or weather service, cart contents, overflow, and whether the City serves the property can change handling.

What to keep in mind

Collection day, cart size, fees, accepted material, and holiday or weather changes can vary. Items outside the cart may require a different service.
