TV removal
in Beaumont.

Beaumont runs its own collection and its own landfill, so most large items never need a third party. Garbage Services picks up garbage, small yard waste, used motor oil and heavy trash weekly on the route day, and heavy trash carries the items this guide is about: furniture and mattresses, appliances, large yard waste with limbs up to eight feet long, tree trunks cut down to two foot lengths, and a maximum of four tires a year. The service is limited to single family residential customers, so businesses, churches, apartment buildings, construction sites and vacant lots have to take their material to the landfill instead, and every pile has to be stacked neatly in separate piles and kept clear of utility lines, trees, water lines and water meters. Ordinary garbage is the opposite case: it has to be inside the 96 gallon container, because waste left outside will not be collected and can bring a ticket and a fine, and a household that outgrows the container can add another for 5.00 a month plus a one time 20.00 delivery fee. What the crews do not take can often be hauled by the household itself, because the municipal landfill at 5895 Lafin Dr. charges nothing to citizens who bring their own single family debris with proof of residency and who pay for garbage service, while contractors, businesses and anyone with a commercial load is charged, and the landfill is open Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Household hazardous waste is the one thing the city does not handle: paint, varnish, solvents, pesticides, fertilizers, automotive fluids, used oil and filters, pool chemicals, batteries and mercury all go to free collection events run several times a year by the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission on 409-899-8444 extension 7520, which also takes scrap tires with the first eight free and each additional tire at a dollar in cash. Electronics are the unresolved item, because the city does not name them and the regional events refuse them, so a television or computer needs a call to Garbage Services on 409-842-1483 before it is moved.
