The Street/Drainage Division is responsible for maintenance and repair of sidewalks and all the ADA ramps within the street rights-of-ways. The City has an ongoing repair program based on an established priority system.
Through citizens' requests and annual inspections, sidewalk failures are identified and prioritized for repair or replacement. Small repairs are scheduled and repaired by city staff. The high priority failures are listed and an annual contract is awarded for the repair of these areas. Inspection of work performed is provided to ensure the quality of the completed work.
To report a sidewalk, contact Sugar Land Public Works Department, 281.275.2450.

Automated garbage service is provided twice a week utilizing a City-issued grey cart.
Set your cart out by 7 a.m. on the day of collection but no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before.
Carts should be placed at the base of the curb (where curbs exist) with the cart wheels against the curb. Handles should be facing away from the street. Lids should open to the street.
Carts need to be removed from the curb by 8 a.m. on the morning following collection.
Always keep the lid shut.
Carts must be stored on your property, in compliance with deed restrictions. Do not store your cart in the alley or on the street.
The cart remains the property of the City of Sugar Land. It is yours to use while participating in the program. If you move,leave the cart at the residence.

Your old garbage containers can be utilized for the green waste collection. You can store your grass clippings, leaves and other items in the container and place it out for collection on your green waste day.

Cart Maintenance
Your cart is constructed of heavy-duty, injection-molded plastic to provide years of reliable service. In order to get the most out of your cart, it is important to follow the simple guidelines.
CARING FOR YOUR CART - Simply rinse the inside of your cart with water from time to time to keep it clean.
CART SAFETY - Never sit, climb or stand on your cart. Do not allow children to play on, in or around the cart.
LOADING THE CART - Materials should be bagged before placing in the cart so lightweight items, such as packaging peanuts, don’t litter the street. Items that should not be placed in the carts include construction waste, demolition waste, hazardous waste, medical waste, hot ashes, rock, sod and large appliances. Materials for recycling should be placed directly into the recycle cart.
ROLLING YOUR CART - Ensure the lid is closed. Use the toe hold at the bottom rear of the cart, grasp the plastic handle
and tilt the cart toward you. You can either push or pull the cart. You will be pleased at how easy the cart is to maneuver.
PLACING THE CART AT THE CURB - The cart should be placed at the base of the curb (where curbs exist) with the cart wheels against the curb. The handles should point away from the street. Lids should open to the street.
REMOVING AND STO RING THE CART - To maintain the appearance of your neighborhood, please remove the cart from the curb after collection. Store the cart in your garage or other location in compliance with your deed restrictions. Be careful not to store it close to a furnace, fireplace, grill or any source of excessive heat.
KEEP THE LID SHUT - All materials must fit into the cart. A closed lid will also prevent tampering by pets, minimize
odors and wind-blown litter and block rainwater.
CART IS DAMAGED, LOST OR STOLEN - The cart will be repaired or replaced, at no cost to the resident, if the cart is stolen or damaged beyond repair. If a resident’s negligence or misuse damages a cart beyond repair, the resident will
be charged a fee for replacing the cart. To report a damaged, lost or stolen cart, please contact Republic Services, 713-726-7307.
