In addition, we will need a detailed list of items you will be placing out and all items should be placed out before 7 a.m. the day of your scheduled pick-up.

How much is Bulk Pick Up?

Residents get 12 free bulk pick ups a calendar year. 

What is Bulky Waste?

Bulky Waste means stoves, refrigerators with a Freon evacuation certificate, water tanks, washing machines, furniture, carpet, fencing materials, more than ten bags of landscape waste or bundles of brush, and other items of a similar nature that can be loaded by two employees in five (5) minutes or less, except construction debris, dead animals, hazardous waste or stable matter with weights or volumes greater than those allowed for trash collection containers.

Brush must be placed within eight feet of the curb. Trees, tree limbs, and brush cannot exceed four inches in diameter, five feet in length, must be bundled (tied together), and bundles cannot weigh more than 60lbs. If brush is is too big for the Republic Services pickup requirements, contact Public Works to arrange a curbside chipping service. 

What is not allowed?

Televisions, propane, construction material (of any kind), oil, and paint must be dried completely. If you have any additional questions on what can and can not be placed out, please call the business office at (210) 619-1100.

What day will my pick-up be?

All Bulk Pick Up requests are submitted to Republic Services every Friday by 1 p.m. for services to be provided the next week. Republic Services will pick up your scheduled bulk pick-up on the second recycle day. Please Note: If you are once a week pickup, the pickup will take place the next week on your pick up day.
