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.

Monthly bulk week and the weekly small bulk allowance

Accepted with preparation

DeSoto gives a household two published bulky routes. Once a month, in the quadrant the city assigns to the address, up to ten cubic yards of bulk or brush comes off the curb from the Friday evening before the week until everything is cleared by Friday night. Every other week, on the household's second collection day, one large item or up to three cubic yards of small bulk and bundled brush goes out beside the cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households with an active DeSoto water account, because the sanitation charges that fund the programme ride on the water bill and the city states that only active accounts receive bulk and brush collection. Each account gets one large pickup of up to ten cubic yards a month, twelve in a year, and any pickup beyond that is arranged directly with Republic.
When & how
The monthly week begins on the first Monday of the first full week of the month for the assigned quadrant, with the pile allowed out after 6 pm the Friday before, ready by 7 am on the Monday, and cleared by 6 pm that Friday. The weekly allowance goes out on the second collection day of the week, which is Thursday or Friday depending on the address.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside ten cubic yards on the monthly week and three cubic yards or one large item on the weekly route, place it at the front curb as close to the street as possible, and never on the side of a corner property. Leave room around vehicles, trees, fences, storm drains and mailboxes, and sixteen feet of clearance above the pile. Vehicle parts, tires, batteries, carpet, flammables, hazardous waste, electronic waste, older mirrored televisions and all construction material are refused.

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture sits inside both bulk tracks. A sofa, a dining room table, a chair or a recliner is named among the city's large bulk examples, and a smaller piece such as an end table, a coffee table, a bookcase, a desk chair or window blinds can go out with the weekly small bulk on the second collection day.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households with an active water account, since the sanitation charge on the water bill funds the bulky collection and the city states that only active accounts receive bulk and brush service. Nothing is priced per piece inside the published limits.
When & how
A large piece goes out in the assigned quadrant week, and a small piece goes out on the second collection day of the week, which is Thursday or Friday. The monthly pile is allowed out after 6 pm the Friday before the week and has to be ready by 7 am Monday.
Get it ready
Empty and, where possible, disassemble the piece, keep it inside the ten cubic yard monthly limit or the three cubic yard weekly limit, and leave it at the front curb clear of driveways, storm drains, mailboxes and overhanging lines. Carpet and area rugs are refused no matter which route the furniture uses.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress is named directly in the city's large bulk examples, so it leaves on the monthly quadrant pickup inside the ten cubic yard limit rather than going to a hauler.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households with an active water account on the city's bulky collection, which the city funds through the sanitation charge on the water bill and states is available only to properties with an active account.
When & how
Set the mattress out during the assigned quadrant week, after 6 pm the Friday before and by 7 am on the Monday, and leave it at the curb until the crew clears the pile by 6 pm Friday.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress inside the ten cubic yard limit and at the front curb, clear of vehicles, trees, storm drains and mailboxes, and keep it dry. A mattress is not a recycling item and never goes in the blue cart.

Washers, dryers, refrigerators and other appliances

Accepted with preparation

Appliances ride the bulk allowance with one published condition attached to the cooling units. Washers and dryers are named as large bulk examples, and window air conditioning units, refrigerators and freezers are accepted once the freon has been removed and tagged by an appliance or HVAC technician.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households with an active water account on the city's bulky collection, which carries no per item charge inside the published limits. A unit holding refrigerant has to be emptied and tagged by an appliance or HVAC technician before it is set out.
When & how
Put the appliance out in the assigned monthly quadrant week with the rest of the pile, or send a small unit with the weekly small bulk on the second collection day, and leave everything at the curb until the crew clears it.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, secure the doors, and for anything that held refrigerant have a technician remove the freon and tag the unit before it reaches the curb. Keep appliances out of the recycling cart and out of the small bulk pile if they are large enough to be a bulk item on their own.

Televisions, computers and other electronics

Special rules apply

Electronics are refused on both bulky routes, and the county household chemical center takes only computers and cell phones among electronic devices. The city states plainly that electronic waste is unacceptable in the bulk and brush program, and it singles out older mirrored televisions with a hump in the back, so a television has no published destination and the household has to ask.

City cost & eligibility
No page kept here publishes a television route. The bulk program refuses electronic waste and older mirrored televisions and the Dallas County collection center refuses electronics other than computers and cell phones, so call the DeSoto Action Center on 972-274-2489 and ask where a television should go before setting it out, and confirm the same number for anything else with a circuit board.
When & how
Computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center on Plano Road during its published hours, with a driver's license and a DeSoto utility bill as proof of residence. A television waits for the Action Center's answer rather than going to the curb.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the bulk pile, the brush pile and the recycling cart, because the bulk program refuses electronic waste and the recycling page refuses bagged material and mixed items. Wipe personal data from a computer or phone before handover, and note that the county center will not take an appliance either unless it is a computer or a cell phone.

Remodeling and construction material

Not on the regular city route

Large construction loads are written out of the bulk and brush program: lumber, drywall, paneling, tile, flooring, siding, concrete, sheet rock, bricks, glass and carpet or area rugs are refused, and the county household chemical center refuses construction debris as well. The city's own route for a full project is a dumpster arranged through the Action Center, while one small do it yourself project is named on the city's large bulk list as something the ten cubic yard allowance takes.

City cost & eligibility
No city rate is published for construction material. The trash page states that the Action Center can assist with scheduling a dumpster for a large commercial or residential project along with the guidelines, so call 972-274-2489 to price the container and confirm what it may hold before the work produces debris.
When & how
Construction material has no curbside day. A project load needs its own container arranged in advance through the Action Center, and the pile cannot borrow the household's bulk week.
Get it ready
Keep large construction material out of the bulk and brush pile: lumber, drywall, paneling, tile, flooring, siding, concrete, sheet rock, bricks, glass and carpet are refused, and a mixed pile risks the whole load being left behind. The city does name one small do it yourself project on its large bulk list, such as a toilet, a small cabinet and sink, fence panels, interior doors, or molding and baseboards cut into four foot lengths with nails removed or hammered down, and that fits inside the ten cubic yard allowance. Keep hazardous products out of the debris as well and route them to the county collection center.

Treadmills, ellipticals and home gym equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in either bulk list, and the bulky program is measured in cubic yards rather than item types, so a machine may fit the weekly small bulk allowance or the monthly pile but nobody publishes that answer. The piece has to be confirmed with the city before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the bulk page nor the FAQ names an exercise machine or prices one. Call the Action Center on 972-274-2489, describe the machine and its size, and ask whether it belongs in the weekly small bulk allowance of three cubic yards or in the monthly ten cubic yard pile before setting it at the curb.
When & how
A machine that fits the weekly small bulk goes out on the second collection day of the week, and anything larger waits for the assigned monthly quadrant week. Nothing should be set out before the city confirms which route applies.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart, keep the loose weights with the frame, and drain anything powered by fluid. Measure the folded size, because the weekly allowance is three cubic yards and the monthly limit is ten, and keep metal parts out of the recycling cart if they cannot be containerized.

The monthly pile has a Friday-to-Friday window

The monthly bulk and brush week starts on the first Monday of the first full week of the month for the household's quadrant. Material may go out after 6 pm the Friday before the week, has to be curbside and ready by 7 am on the Monday, and stays out until the crew finishes and clears everything by 6 pm on the Friday of that week.

The second collection day carries one large item or three cubic yards

Between the monthly weeks a household may put out either one large bulky item or up to three cubic yards of small bulk and bundled brush on the second collection day of the week, which is Thursday or Friday only, placed next to the trash cart with up to five extra bags of household trash. Three cubic yards is about the size of three kitchen stoves side by side.

Front curb only, with room around and above the pile

Piles go at the front curb as close to the street as possible, never on the side of a corner property, and they have to stay clear of vehicles, trees, fences, storm drains and mailboxes with sixteen feet of open space above them. Anything over the ten cubic yard monthly limit is the property owner's responsibility to remove.

Tires, batteries, carpet, electronics and construction never ride the bulk truck

The bulk and brush program refuses vehicle parts, tires, batteries, carpet, flammables, hazardous waste, electronic waste and older mirrored televisions with a hump in the back, along with lumber, drywall, paneling, tile, flooring, siding, concrete, sheet rock, bricks, glass and carpet or area rugs. One small do it yourself project, such as a toilet, a small cabinet and sink, fence panels, interior doors, or molding and baseboards cut into four foot lengths, is named on the city's large bulk list and fits inside the ten cubic yard allowance. Hazardous products and computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County center instead, and a larger project load needs its own container.

An active water account drives the service, and only Republic carts are emptied

Bulk and brush collection is attached to the water account because the sanitation charge rides on the water bill, and the city states that only properties with an active account receive it, with material at an inactive account referred to code enforcement. Recycle carts are included in the monthly utility bill, only Republic carts are serviced, and trash goes out by 7 am on the Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday schedule with recycling every Wednesday.

City of DeSoto sanitation service collected by Republic Services, with household hazardous waste through the Dallas County network

Use the monthly quadrant bulk and brush week

A household with up to ten cubic yards of bulk or brush, including a sofa, a mattress or an appliance, ready for its assigned week of the month.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Households with an active water account, since the city funds the program through the sanitation charge on the water bill and states that only active accounts receive bulk and brush collection. Each account gets one pickup of up to ten cubic yards a month and twelve in a year.
Arrange it
Find the quadrant on the city map, put the pile at the front curb after 6 pm the Friday before the assigned week, have it ready by 7 am on the Monday, and leave it until the crew clears everything by 6 pm that Friday.

Ten cubic yards is the maximum, anything over it is the property owner's responsibility, and vehicle parts, tires, batteries, carpet, flammables, hazardous waste, electronic waste, mirrored televisions and all construction material are refused. Beyond twelve large pickups in a year the account holder arranges extra service with Republic.

Add a weekly small bulk set-out

A household with one large item, a few small pieces of furniture, bundled brush or extra bags to clear between the monthly weeks.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Households with an active water account on the city program, which includes the weekly allowance without a separate charge per item.
Arrange it
Put the item or the pile beside the trash cart on the second collection day of the week, which for DeSoto is Thursday or Friday depending on the address, and keep it inside three cubic yards.

One large item or three cubic yards of small bulk and bundled brush, with up to five extra bags of household trash per collection date. The same categories refused in the monthly week are refused here, so electronics, tires, batteries, carpet and construction material still do not go out.

Take chemicals and computers to the Dallas County collection center

A DeSoto household with paint, household chemicals, lawn and garden products, aerosols, pool chemicals, batteries, automotive fluids, fluorescent tubes, computers or cell phones.

Cost & conditions
The city page describes the Dallas County network membership and the accepted materials without publishing a charge for the drop off, so confirm the current terms on 214-553-1765 or through the Action Center on 972-274-2489 before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Drive to 11234 Plano Road in Dallas with a driver's license and a DeSoto water or utility bill as proof of residence. The center opens Tuesdays from 9 am to 7:30 pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 5 pm and the second and fourth Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm, and it is closed Mondays, Fridays and Sundays. The city also hosts its own one day collection event each spring.

Business waste, containers larger than five gallons, explosives and ammunition, shock sensitive materials, smoke detectors and other radioactive material, common trash or recyclables, construction debris, electronics or appliances other than computers and cell phones, and medical waste are all refused.

Arrange a dumpster for a project load

A household or contractor with remodeling or construction material, or a load too large for the bulk allowance.

Cost & conditions
No rate is published for a project container. The city says the Action Center can assist with scheduling a dumpster for a large commercial or residential project along with the guidelines, so call 972-274-2489 to confirm the container, the acceptable material and the price.
Arrange it
Contact the DeSoto Action Center before the work produces debris, describe the load, and follow the guidelines the city provides for placement and material.

A project load of construction material cannot go into the bulk or brush pile, the recycling cart or the county chemical center, although the city names one small do it yourself project as an acceptable large bulk item inside the ten cubic yard allowance, and commercial properties have to arrange bulk or brush service directly with Republic rather than through the residential allowance.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in DeSoto is mostly a question of which bulk week a household is in. The city assigns every address to a quadrant and collects that quadrant once a month across a Monday to Friday window, with up to ten cubic yards of bulk or brush allowed, material out after 6 pm the Friday before and ready by 7 am Monday, all cleared by 6 pm Friday. Between those weeks a household can still put out one large item or up to three cubic yards of small bulk and bundled brush on the second collection day of the week, which is Thursday or Friday, along with up to five extra bags of household trash. Both routes ride the sanitation charge on the water bill and both require an active water account, and an account gets twelve large pickups a year before extra service has to be arranged with Republic. Appliances are welcome inside the limits once a technician has removed and tagged the refrigerant on a window air conditioner, refrigerator or freezer. What the curb will not take goes two other ways: household chemicals, batteries, fluorescent tubes, automotive fluids and computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road in Dallas with a driver's license and a DeSoto utility bill, and construction material, which the bulky program refuses completely, needs a container arranged through the DeSoto Action Center on 972-274-2489 before the work starts.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in DeSoto.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in DeSoto?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How much bulk waste can go out in DeSoto each week and each month?

Two tracks. On the household's second collection day of the week, which is Thursday or Friday, it can put out either one large bulky item or up to three cubic yards of small bulk and bundled brush beside the cart, along with up to five extra bags of household trash. Once a month, in the quadrant week the city assigns, up to ten cubic yards of bulk or brush comes off the curb from the Friday before the week until it is cleared by Friday night.Official guidance

Will DeSoto take a couch at the curb?

Yes, on one of the two bulk tracks. A sofa is named among the city's large bulk examples, so it goes out in the assigned monthly quadrant week, and a smaller piece of furniture can go out with the weekly small bulk allowance on the second collection day instead. Both routes ride the sanitation charge on the water bill, and carpet or area rugs are refused either way.Official guidance

Does DeSoto collect mattresses at the curb?

Yes. A mattress is named in the city's large bulk examples, so it goes out in the household's assigned monthly quadrant week inside the ten cubic yard limit, at the front curb and clear of obstacles, and it stays out until the crew clears the pile by 6 pm Friday. The pickup is funded through the sanitation charge on the water bill.Official guidance

Can a refrigerator or air conditioner go out with the bulk pile in DeSoto?

Yes, once the freon has been removed and the unit has been tagged by an appliance or HVAC technician. The city names window air conditioning units, refrigerators and freezers in its large bulk list along with washers and dryers, and the appliance then goes out in the assigned monthly quadrant week inside the ten cubic yard limit.Official guidance

Where do televisions, computers and electronics go in DeSoto?

Computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road in Dallas, open Tuesdays from 9 am to 7:30 pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 5 pm and the second and fourth Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm, with a driver's license and a DeSoto utility bill as proof of residence. A television has no published route because the bulk program refuses electronic waste and the county center refuses electronics other than computers and cell phones, so call the Action Center on 972-274-2489 first.Official guidance

Can construction debris go out with the DeSoto bulk pile?

Not as a project load. The bulk and brush program refuses construction material, naming lumber, drywall, paneling, tile, flooring, siding, concrete, sheet rock, bricks, glass and carpet or area rugs, and the county household chemical center refuses construction debris too. The city's large bulk list does name one small do it yourself project, such as a toilet, a small cabinet and sink, fence panels, interior doors, or molding and baseboards cut into four foot lengths with the nails removed, which fits inside the ten cubic yard allowance. For anything larger, the city says the Action Center can help schedule a dumpster on 972-274-2489.Official guidance

Will DeSoto take a treadmill at the curb?

It has to be confirmed, because neither bulk list names exercise equipment. A machine small enough for the weekly small bulk allowance of up to three cubic yards goes out on the second collection day of the week, and a larger one belongs in the assigned monthly quadrant week inside the ten cubic yard limit, so call the Action Center on 972-274-2489 and describe the size first.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulk items in DeSoto?

Republic Services collects for the city as the primary waste provider, and the DeSoto Action Center handles questions, missed pickups and project containers on 972-274-CITY, which is 972-274-2489. Trash runs twice a week on Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, recycling runs every Wednesday, and the bulk and brush program is attached to the household water account because the sanitation charge rides on that bill.Official guidance

How do I know which week my bulk collection falls in?

The city divides DeSoto into four quadrants that a map assigns by address, and each quadrant is served once a month in order: quadrant one the first week of the month, quadrant two the second week, quadrant three the third week and quadrant four the fourth week, with the cycle repeating the next month. The schedule begins on the first Monday of the first full week, and the Republic Services app carries the dates, reminders and extra service requests.Official guidance

Is there a limit on how many large bulk pickups a household gets?

Yes. Each account holder is allowed one large brush or bulk pickup of up to ten cubic yards per month, which works out to twelve pickups a year, and once the account reaches that limit any further pickup has to be arranged directly with Republic. The pickups are tied to the water account rather than to a neighbor, so a scheduled week cannot be given away.Official guidance
