| Where to place items | Set brush and bulky items just behind the curb line in front of the home. Set out materials between Thursday and Sunday prior to your collection week. The page also says early, oversize, and non-compliant setouts can trigger enforcement action; items must not block the collection area. For recyclables and garbage, Dallas says carts should be at the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day, no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before. |
