A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Brush and bulky collection

Accepted with preparation

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.

City cost & eligibility
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.
When & how
The regular visit comes once per residence in January, March, May, July, September and November on the neighborhood's Monday, with nothing set out more than 48 hours ahead, and a collection can be scheduled for a Wednesday or Friday on 325-676-6053. Alley customers get an average of three visits a year, with nothing out more than 10 days ahead.
Get it ready
Keep the pile within the eight foot by four foot by three foot standard, cut tree limbs to four foot lengths, break boxes down and stack them, cut carpet into manageable pieces, and keep everything within five feet of the street, or behind the property line and five feet clear of a gas meter or container for alley service. A large appliance goes at the end of the driveway near the curb, and hired contractors cannot use the residential collection for their waste.

Tree limbs, brush and mulch

Accepted with preparation

Tree limbs and yard waste have their own free resident drop off at the Abilene Brush Center on Sandy Street, with limb dimensions the center enforces, and the center turns the material into mulch that residents can take away.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Brush is free for Abilene residents who bring a driver's licence and a current City of Abilene water bill, while fees apply to commercial accounts; mulch is self loaded at no charge or loaded by city staff for a fee, and delivery inside the city limits costs extra, arranged on 325-677-2149.
When & how
Take the material to the Abilene Brush Center at 2149 Sandy Street from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or on Saturday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., and bring the water bill and licence.
Get it ready
Cut tree limbs to between six and eight feet long with a diameter of 18 inches or less, empty bagged grass or leaves in the designated areas rather than leaving them in the bags, and keep larger tree trunks and root systems out of the load because the center refuses them.

Right item.
Right place.

Carts out by 6 a.m. twice a week

Collection runs twice weekly on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, containers go out by 6 a.m. with the handle facing the house, on the curb rather than in the street and no more than five feet back on the property, with five feet of clearance from cars and mailboxes. Trash goes in the container bagged, tree limbs never go in the container, and the containers themselves are city property that stays with the address.

Bulky material waits for the odd month visit

Brush and bulky collection reaches each residence once in the odd months on the neighborhood Monday, and alley customers see the crews about three times a year, so nothing should go out more than 48 hours ahead for curb service or 10 days ahead for alley service. The standard load fits inside eight feet by four feet by three feet, tree limbs are cut to four foot lengths, boxes are broken down, carpet is cut into manageable pieces, and a large appliance goes at the end of the driveway near the curb with a scheduled pickup.

Resident drop offs need proof of address

The Citizens Convenience Station and the Abilene Brush Center both serve Abilene residents only, and both ask for a driver's licence and a current City of Abilene water bill at the gate. The convenience station takes about one pickup bed sized load a visit and the household unloads its own material, while construction waste, tires, commercial loads and loads hauled from multi-family or government property are refused there.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Abilene residents do their own hauling at three city sites. The Citizens Convenience Station at 2149 Sandy Street takes mattresses, couches, furniture, bulky items, televisions and electronics, carpet and fencing from single family households that bring a driver's licence and a current water bill, in loads of about one pickup bed each, and it refuses construction waste, tires and anything hauled from a commercial, multi-family or government property. The same address holds the Abilene Brush Center, which takes leaves and tree limbs free from residents, with limbs cut to six or eight feet and 18 inches or less in diameter, and turns the material into mulch. The Environmental Recycling Center at 2209 Oak Street takes cans, cardboard, scrap metal, appliances including refrigerant units, concrete, glass, paper, plastics and tires for a fee, and runs the household chemical program with an accepted list and a refused list plus a free Re-Store that reissues usable paint and chemicals. Garbage that will not fit the cart goes into a city roll-off container arranged on 325-676-6053, and the two Abilene area landfills north of the city on FM 3034 are privately owned, so a self hauled load there has to be priced with the operator rather than the city.
