Info You Can Use

HOUSEHOLD TRASH VERSUS HEAVY TRASH 

Not all trash is the same. In this video, Lake Jackson residents learn trash can be put at the curb and how much. They also learn how to prepare yard trash for pickup and where to take trash if they can't wait for their pickup dates. 

And remember, we have a limit regarding how much heavy trash ou can put out. Putting out more than that will result in an additional charge to you. 


Once in the city system, FOG can contaminate local waters and even drinking water when manholes covers overflow into parks, yards, streets, and storm drains during heavy rains or hurricanes. 

Communities spend billions of dollars every year unplugging or replacing grease-blocked pipes, repairing pump stations, and cleaning up costly and illegal wastewater spills. Excessive FOG in the sewer system can affect local wastewater rates.

So, keeping FOG out of the sewer system helps everyone. That's why we want you to BE FOGGLESS!
