- Ask where your items will end up, and whether usable pieces are donated or recycled.
- Agree on the pickup window and what you need to do first: group everything in one spot, such as the garage or driveway.

How pickup works in Baytown
Baytown splits the job in two. Trash goes out twice a week by area, and brush is picked up one zone per week, so each zone gets about one pickup a month. The city's contracted hauler handles heavy trash, but the city doesn't post the size rules, so call Public Works on 281-420-5300 first. For anything you can haul yourself, the residents-only Green Center charges a flat fee per load.
Program: Twice-weekly trash pickup by the city's contracted hauler, weekly zoned brush pickup, and a residents-only drop-off site (the Green Center).
Schedule: Trash is collected Monday and Thursday north of Spur 330 (Decker Dr.) and Highway 146, and Tuesday and Friday south of them. Brush is picked up in four zones, one zone per week: Zone 1 the week of the first Monday of the month, Zone 2 the second, Zone 3 the third and Zone 4 the fourth.
Setting items out: Trash goes to the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day. Brush goes out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your zone's week, in front of your home, clear of poles, signs, meters, hydrants, fences and mailboxes and not blocking the sidewalk or street.
Limits: Brush: tree limbs 8 feet or shorter and shrubbery only. Heavy trash and bulk items are handled by the city's contracted hauler; the city's page does not publish its limits, so call Public Works first.
