Comprehensive Guide & Details
Premium Back-Door Garbage Collection
Unlike most municipalities that require dragging heavy bins to the street, the City of Nassau Bay offers a premium back-door trash pickup service through its partnership with AmeriWaste. Standard residential garbage is collected twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. Homeowners simply need to leave their household waste near the garage or back door, provided it is clearly visible from the street by 7:00 AM. Residents are responsible for supplying their own trash cans, which must fall between 20 and 30 gallons in capacity. To protect against local wildlife, all receptacles must have tightly fitting lids, and the total weight of a single container cannot exceed 75 pounds.
Curbside Heavy Trash and Green Waste Days
While regular domestic trash is picked up near your home's exterior, larger refuse requires curbside placement. Every Monday, AmeriWaste conducts heavy trash and green waste removal exclusively at the curb. For yard maintenance, residents can place grass clippings, brush, and tree limbs out for collection. All wood waste must be securely tied into bundles measuring no longer than five feet and weighing under 50 pounds. The city imposes a strict limit of 10 combined bags or bundles of yard debris per household per service day. Larger items like household appliances and mattresses are also accepted on Mondays, provided they do not exceed the 50-pound weight threshold.
Voluntary Recycling Enrollment Options
Nassau Bay champions environmental sustainability by offering a voluntary residential recycling program, managed directly by AmeriWaste. Because this is an opt-in initiative, residents must contact the provider at 281-331-8400 to register. Participants can choose between two affordable tiers: a slightly higher annual rate for convenient back-door recycling or a lower rate for standard curbside service. Upon enrollment, the provider delivers a specialized 35-gallon wheeled cart designed for mixed recyclables, including corrugated cardboard, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastics. Recycling collection occurs once a week on Thursdays alongside your normal refuse run.
Holiday Operations and Construction Debris Rules
The sanitation calendar is only paused for five major observed holidays: New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If your regular Monday or Thursday route coincides with one of these dates, your debris will be gathered on the very next scheduled pickup day, rather than pushed back by a single calendar day. Additionally, homeowners handling DIY renovations should note that heavy construction materials like concrete, sheetrock, and bricks are not covered under standard collection. Getting rid of these heavy materials requires contacting AmeriWaste customer service directly to arrange a special haul-off for an additional fee.
