!Contamination Tips
No Mixed Construction Debris in Heavy Trash
Angleton's heavy trash limits prohibit contractor waste, roofing material, drywall, and tiles. If you are doing a home renovation, you will need to rent a roll-off dumpster instead of leaving debris at the curb.
Beware of the Freon Rule for Appliances
Before you leave an old AC unit or refrigerator on the curb for bulk pickup, Waste Connections requires it to have a certified tag proving the Freon has been safely reclaimed.
Keep Carts 4 Feet Away
The automated trucks servicing Angleton need adequate clearance. Keep your bins and heavy trash piles at least four feet away from mailboxes, parked cars, and stationary objects.
Seasonal Information
Summer/Fall
June to NovemberDuring the Texas Gulf Coast hurricane and storm season, you may have excess fallen branches. Remember that tree trimmings must be cut to under 5 feet and weigh less than 50 pounds for collection.
Spring

About Angleton Waste Management
Comprehensive Waste Management in Angleton
The City of Angleton partners with Waste Connections to provide seamless residential waste collection. Residents receive automated cart collection for regular household trash, alongside dedicated weekly recycling and bi-monthly bulk pickup. Billing and cart requests are managed directly through the city's Utility Billing Department to keep municipal services centralized.
Angleton's 2-Zone Trash Collection System
To efficiently service the growing community, Angleton divides its trash collection into two primary zones. Zone 1 (Northside) receives garbage service on Tuesdays and Fridays, while Zone 2 (Southside) is serviced on Mondays and Thursdays. Understanding your zone is crucial not only for weekly trash but also for tracking your designated heavy trash weeks.
Wednesday is Citywide Recycling Day
Unlike regular trash collection, the recycling schedule in Angleton is unified. Regardless of whether you live in Zone 1 or Zone 2, all automated recycling carts are serviced on Wednesdays. This mid-week collection streamlines the process, making it easy to remember when to set out your cardboard, plastics, and paper.
Heavy Trash Limits and Guidelines
Waste Connections allows up to 4 cubic yards of bulky waste per service. Residents must set out heavy items by Monday of their designated week (1st and 3rd weeks for Zone 1; 2nd and 4th weeks for Zone 2). Brush trimmings are accepted but must be carefully cut to no more than 5 feet in length and bundled to ensure safe handling by the automated fleet.
Handling Appliance and Hazardous Waste Disposal
Not everything can go to the curb. While Angleton allows large appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners in bulk pickup, they absolutely must be tagged by a certified technician proving Freon reclamation. Hazardous materials, including pool chemicals, wet paint, and remodeling debris, are strictly prohibited and require disposal at specialized Brazoria County facilities.
