Trash in Deer Park
The plain version
In a lot of towns your garbage is handled by a contractor with a logo on the truck. In Deer Park it's the city's own Sanitation Division — city crews, city equipment, city schedule. Household trash goes out twice a week, heavy trash comes weekly (most cities do monthly or quarterly), and there's a city transfer station you can haul to yourself on Saturdays. It's one of the more visible things the city budget actually buys.
This page lays out who collects what and when, where your trash and recycling actually go, and where the rules live in the city code. Same promise as everywhere on this hub: any figure we publish names its source, and anything we can't source doesn't make the page.
