Pick up your trash” means 

properly disposing of waste, often by putting it in designated bins for curbside collection (like with WM, Republic Services, Waste Connections in your area), bringing it to drop-off sites (like J.C. Elliott Transfer Station in Corpus Christi), or using services like Bagster® or Junk Removal for large amounts. For personal cleanup, use gloves, a grabber, and hand sanitizer, and follow local guidelines for set-out times and collection days. 

For Residential Collection (Portland, TX Area)

• Check Local Schedules: Your collection day and rules (e.g., yard waste frequency) depend on your location in Portland, TX.
• Use Bins Correctly: Place trash in the provided cart, ensuring lids close; uncontained items might not be picked up.
• Set Out Properly: Put bins at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection day, but don’t leave them out overnight if possible.
• Bring Bins Back: Return bins to storage after pickup. 

For Large Amounts or Bulky Items

• Dumpsters/Bagster: Rent a roll-off dumpster or buy a Bagster® for big cleanouts.
• Drop-Off Centers: Use local landfills or transfer stations (like J.C. Elliott for Corpus Christi).
• Junk Removal Services: Companies like 1-800-Got-Junk can haul away large quantities. 

For Personal Cleanup & Volunteering

• Gear Up: Wear gloves, closed-toe shoes, and maybe a mask; use a trash grabber tool.
• Clean Up After: Wash hands/gloves thoroughly after.
