In the past, the department has incurred as much as $4 million in workers&#8217; compensation costs each year using manual garbage collection. The automated system has reduced injuries, especially back-related injuries, which are common in garbage collection.<\/p>\n<p>The containers used for automated garbage collection are manufactured using 50% recycled materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GARBAGE COLLECTION GUIDELINES<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullets\">\n<li>City-provided containers must be placed at the curb between 6 p.m. the day before and 7 a.m. on the thursday, every week<\/li>\n<li>Place the container on the curb facing the street with the handle facing the house.<\/li>\n<li>Containers must be accessible and not blocked by obstacles, including parked cars, trees, mailboxes, fencing, etc. Blocked containers will not be emptied.<\/li>\n<li>Leave at least a three (3) feet space between garbage and recycling containers to allow the truck to safely operate.<\/li>\n<li>Remove containers from the curb line and\/ or public view by 10:00 p.m. on the day of collection and stored in a secure location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curbside Garbage Information The City of Houston provides residents with  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":215,"featured_media":16583,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[175],"class_list":["post-17528","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-garbage-pick-up","cat_garbage-pick-up"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
