City collection Furniture leaves on the brush and bulky collection or, more simply, at the Citizens Convenience Station on Sandy Street, which is a self service drop off for residents and names couches, furniture and bulky items in its accepted list. No charge. The Citizens Convenience Station is free for Abilene residents who bring a driver's licence and a current City of Abilene water bill, is limited to about one pickup bed sized load a visit, and does not accept commercial, multi-family or government loads; the same piece can also go out on the residential brush and bulky collection, which is covered by the monthly collection charge.

City collection Appliances are handled in two places. The Environmental Recycling Center takes them from residents including units that still contain refrigerant gases, and the brush and bulky collection picks up a large appliance left at the end of the driveway near the curb when the pickup is scheduled. No charge. The Environmental Recycling Center takes appliances from residents and the fee schedule makes the first residential Freon unit free with a second unit charged, and commercial Freon units and other commercial appliances priced separately; the brush and bulky collection picks up a large appliance from the driveway end on a scheduled call to 325-676-6053.
City collection Brush and bulky material leaves the property on a city collection that comes through once in each odd month and can also be requested for a Wednesday or Friday. The standard load has to fit inside eight feet by four feet by three feet, and a scheduled pickup may be billed by the hour for whichever truck handles it. The regular brush and bulky run is part of the residential service the household already pays for monthly, and the city fee schedule publishes hourly loading rates for a pickup that has to be scheduled rather than the neighborhood run, so call Solid Waste Services on 325-676-6053 and confirm whether your material goes out on the odd month Monday visit or needs a scheduled collection and an hourly charge.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Abilene runs its own collection and the city code makes Solid Waste Services the only agency allowed to collect solid waste inside the city limits, with short term construction debris the single exception for a private hauler. Households get twice weekly curb or alley collection, a Brush and Bulky pickup that comes through once in each odd month and can also be scheduled, and free resident drop offs for brush, bulky items, electronics, recyclables and household chemicals at 2149 Sandy Street and 2209 Oak Street. The monthly collection charge and a monthly environmental charge sit on the Solid Waste fee schedule, the brush and bulky scheduling line carries hourly truck rates, and the two Abilene area landfills are privately owned, so the city does not set their gate prices.
Every household gets garbage collection twice a week, either from a 95 to 96 gallon curbside container or from a shared 300 gallon alley barrel, and the Solid Waste fee schedule sets the monthly collection charge plus a monthly environmental charge that every account pays.
City cost & eligibility
$24 per month for residential regular collection services. City of Abilene residential accounts, with sales tax extra on services and a separate $3.50 environmental charge on every account each month, under the Solid Waste section of the city fee schedule. Extra collections, container exchanges and roll-off service are priced separately on the same schedule, including $40 for an extra 2, 3 or 4 yard container collection, $50 for a 6 or 8 yard container and $37.50 to exchange or refurbish a 100 or 300 gallon container.
When & how
Collection runs twice weekly on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, with the household's containers out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and back off the curb afterwards.
Get it ready
Keep the cart on the curb rather than in the street and no more than five feet back on the property, leave five feet between containers and from cars and mailboxes, bag loose trash, and keep the handle facing the house. Never put tree limbs in the container, never fill it with cement blocks or construction debris, never leave extra boxes on the curb, and remember that hot coals will burn or melt the container.

The city's own route is a roll-off container, priced on the fee schedule and available for short term project use.
City cost & eligibility
From $300 per collection for a 20 yard open top roll-off container, with 30 yard at $370 and 40 yard at $440 on the same schedule, and short term use also available at $73 a day rent, a $242 haul charge and $32 per ton.
