PROOF OF ADDRESS REQUIREMENTS

To drop off bulk waste or tree waste, residents must show:

A current Texas-issued ID (Driver’s License, DPS ID, LTC, or Consulate ID)
Residents must provide a utility bill (power, water, or gas) from the current month or previous two months. The address must match their state‑issued ID. Electronic bills are accepted.
NOTE: The address on both documents must match.

If no utility bill is available, residents may provide a current lease or rental agreement for a City of Houston address. The address must match their state‑issued ID.

Property owners whose primary residence is outside Texas and who do not have a Texas ID must show a current property tax bill; the name on the tax bill must match their photo ID.

Out‑of‑state students attending Houston universities may use a current student ID instead of a utility bill.
