Do you need a dumpster permit in Highlands?
Highlands has no city government since its 1930 charter was voided, so no city dumpster permit applies. Harris County controls the roads, and its permit list names no roll-off permit. Call the Harris County Office of the County Engineer before placing a container on a county road or shoulder.
No city solid-waste franchise applies in Highlands. Check deed restrictions in your subdivision. See driveway placement tips.
Where do Highlands residents take items a dumpster can't take?
Highlands residents use the Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 6900 Hahl Road, by appointment only. Highlands is outside Houston, so Houston's depositories will not take Highlands bulk waste. Old tires, mattresses and Freon appliances can ride in a roll-off for $50 extra per item.

Hazardous chemicals, wet paint and batteries cannot go in a roll-off. See what can go in a dumpster.
Does living near the San Jacinto River change a Highlands rental?
Highlands sits on the banks of the San Jacinto River and the Houston Ship Channel. Riverside lots can stay soft after heavy rain. A roll-off on a concrete or asphalt driveway, set on wood boards, avoids sinking into wet ground. Pick a 10- or 15-yard bin for soaked, heavy debris.
