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.
A mattress is named at the Citizens Convenience Station, which takes bedding from residents at no charge along with couches, furniture and other bulky items, and it can also go out on the residential brush and bulky collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The Citizens Convenience Station accepts mattresses from Abilene residents with a driver's licence and a current City of Abilene water bill, at no published charge, limited to about one pickup bed sized load a visit and with no commercial, multi-family or government loads.
When & how
Take the mattress to 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., or set it out for the neighborhood brush and bulky visit.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the garbage cart and the alley barrel, load it so it stays flat in the vehicle, and unload it yourself at the station into the container the attendant directs you to.
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.
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.
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.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
A household with furniture, bedding, an appliance, a machine, tree limbs or another item too large for the cart.
Cost & conditions
From $48 per hour for the rear loader when a scheduled brush and bulky pickup is billed by the truck that handles it, with the knuckle boom truck at $78 an hour on the same fee schedule. Scheduled collections run on Wednesdays and Fridays and the city says hourly rates may apply based on the truck required, while the regular brush and bulky visit comes once per residence in each odd month on the neighborhood Monday inside the monthly residential service the household already pays.
Arrange it
Put the material out for the odd month neighborhood visit, or call Solid Waste Services on 325-676-6053 to schedule a Wednesday or Friday collection and to ask which truck the load needs.
The standard pile has to fit inside eight feet by four feet by three feet, tree limbs are cut to four foot lengths, hired contractors cannot use the residential collection for their waste, and nothing goes out more than 48 hours ahead of the curb visit or 10 days ahead of an alley visit.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Abilene.
How much does mattress removal cost in Abilene?+
The price depends on the mattress size you choose. A queen mattress is $99 as the first item and $30 as an additional item. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Add any box spring or frame separately, then review your total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I book same-day mattress pickup in Abilene?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Have the mattress outside and accessible according to your confirmation. Your booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Is my box spring or bed frame included in mattress removal?+
The mattress price covers the mattress only. Add your box spring, bed frame or adjustable base separately if those are going too. Choose the size and type that match each item. The combined price appears before booking.
Will you carry my mattress downstairs or out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange to move the mattress out of your apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load it and take it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Check your building’s access rules before arranging the move outside.
Can you pick up my old mattress when my new one arrives?+
You can choose an offered pickup day around your replacement delivery. First check whether the retailer already includes old-mattress removal, and arrange who will bring it outside if needed. Dropcurb books a pickup day, not the retailer’s delivery window. Contact us before booking if access is limited to a short time.
