Green Waste Day

If you can’t transport your tree, you live in a single-family dwelling and you are within Pearland City of limits, your tree can be set out curbside on your Green Waste Day (second trash day of the week). These trees will go to a commercial composting facility where they are chopped up for mulch at the facility along with the rest of your green waste.
