The City of Houston Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD) is temporarily pausing new enrollments for the Add-A-Can program. This pause allows the department to evaluate service capacity and maintain timely, reliable service for all customers.

Current Add-A-Can customers will continue to receive service as scheduled. Any new requests that have been submitted will be closed and must be re-submitted once enrollment resumes.

We understand this temporary change may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience. For questions or additional information, please contact SWMD at 3-1-1.

Do you sometimes have extra bags of garbage? We have a program called “Tags for Bags” stickers. Tags can be purchased, as needed at HEB and participating Kroger stores.

Tags for Bags are also available by calling 3-1-1, the City Helpline. There is a minimum purchase requirement of 5 tags. You may also download the form yourself and send payment in directly.

• For fee schedules, go to www.houstoncityfees.org

Tagged bags and boxes, placed at the curb, will be collected on your scheduled collection day.

The "Tags for Bags" Service Request Form is a .pdf document. Print the form, complete it, and mail it in with your payment, as instructed in the "Note" section of the form.

You can get Tags for Bags at participating Houston area Kroger locations.

Find your schedule, set notifications and learn how to properly dispose of waste.
