Rollout! is a simple app to make figuring out Houston's trash pickup easy! Forget about peeking outside to see if your neighbor's bins are out, with Rollout! we use your phone to look up your location and instantly let you see your schedule for your neighborhood. You can set up reminders to tell you when to take out your trash to make sure you don't miss recycling day again. Rollout! is a labor of love by Kenton Gray (@kentonue). NOTE: This app is only available for areas covered under City of Houston Solid Waste Management. Some places like unincorporated areas or town homes and apartments may not be covered by City of Houston.

I installed this app shortly after moving to Kingwood in June 2024 and the recycling which is supposed to be picked up every other Tuesday never happened. It was picked up on Wednesdays. This often resulted in the recycling bins being left out for two days. After contacting the developer a couple of weeks ago requesting information he took it upon himself to contact the city of Houston and today the recycling truck came around a couple of hours after trash pickup. Fortunately I was home and heard it down the street and was able to get my bin to the street. Unfortunately, many neighbors were not home so I expect their recycling bins will be out tomorrow, for no telling how long! Let’s hope this glitch has been resolved and everyone will be on the same schedule soon!
So happy this was recommended to me
We had been going online to the HTX trash pickup website and it was just a hassle. Then we learned about the HTX trash app but it was often wrong or not updated. FINALLY someone on Nextdoor mentioned this app in a comment section and it’s cut a lot of wasted time worrying about trash/recycling/ bulk days and wasted time moving the different cans up and down the back area and driveway. Not to mention having to move vehicles or ask neighbors to move vehicles, if parked too close or right where the cans go. Waaaayy too long of a review just to say I’m happy this app exists and the schedules are updated well. Thanks developer!
Simple yet effective!
It does what it’s supposed to - reminds me of the proper local trash schedule & details! Works like a charm - Perfect!
Doesn’t reflect holiday schedule
Why doesn’t this app reflect the holiday schedule? Today is Memorial Day 2021 but yet the app says my trash will be picked up. But it won’t. Until tomorrow. Such a simple app should know Houston’s holiday schedule.
Holidays
Why does this app not account for holidays? That is extremely annoying.
Wrong schedule!
We moved zip codes in Houston from 77018 to 77026 and our trash/recycling schedule is opposite of what it should be! I called the city and they told me not use an app not ran by the city.
Bugs need fixing!
This is a five star app when it works. Currently can only see the recycling days and nothing else, even after the latest update. Please fix!
Fixes a bug related to address lookups, sorry for the problems! A few other minor enhancements included as well. Thanks for using Rollout!
