City collection Furniture is named in the bulky collection, and the community collection events take furniture in good and stable condition, while broken pieces have to go to the transfer station or a bulky booking. The bulky collection is included in the residential solid waste service with no published per item rate, and the events are free to register for but publish no fee, so confirm the terms with the hauler on 512-930-1715 or the city on 512-930-3640 as the case requires.
City collection A mattress is a named bulky item in Georgetown, so it leaves through the scheduled bulky collection that a household can book four times a year, within a three cubic yard limit. The bulky collection is part of the residential solid waste service and the city publishes no per item rate, so confirm the booking and any charge with Texas Disposal Systems on 512-930-1715. A unit needing freon removal carries an added fee on the appliance line.
City collection Appliances are bulky items on the scheduled collection, with an added charge when a unit needs freon removal, while the community events take metal appliances only and refuse refrigerators. The bulky collection carries no published per item rate but does charge extra for items requiring freon removal, so confirm the booking and the added fee with Texas Disposal Systems on 512-930-1715 before the unit is set out.
City collection Bulky waste is a scheduled service four times a year, up to three cubic yards, with an advance booking, and ordinary extra bags outside the cart need a Bag Tag. The bulky collection is part of the residential solid waste account with no published per item rate, and a Bag Tag for material outside the cart has its own published price at the Municipal Complex, so confirm the booking with the hauler on 512-930-1715 and the tag price with customer care on 512-930-3640.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Georgetown contracts its collection to Texas Disposal Systems. Households get weekly curbside collection and biweekly single stream recycling, and every material has to fit inside the cart, with a Bag Tag needed for a bag or bundle left outside it. Bulky items are a scheduled service rather than a weekly one: four times a year a household can book a pickup for furniture, a mattress, a toilet, an appliance or carpet, up to three cubic yards, with an added charge when a unit needs freon removal. Tires, batteries, concrete, hazardous material and construction waste are refused there, the transfer station on W.L. Walden Drive takes bulky waste for a fee assessed at the gatehouse, and two community collection events a year take mattresses, furniture, tires and electronics while four hazardous waste events a year take paint, chemicals, oil and bulbs.
A mattress is a named bulky item in Georgetown, so it leaves through the scheduled bulky collection that a household can book four times a year, within a three cubic yard limit.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection is part of the residential solid waste service and the city publishes no per item rate, so confirm the booking and any charge with Texas Disposal Systems on 512-930-1715. A unit needing freon removal carries an added fee on the appliance line.
When & how
Book the pickup with the hauler and set the mattress out on the scheduled collection day, no more than 24 hours before the appointment. The bulky service runs four times a year per household and is not part of the weekly cart collection.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and inside the three cubic yard limit, and leave it out only for the booked day, because the city does not allow bulky material at the curb more than 24 hours early. A reusable mattress can also go to a charity, and mattresses and box springs are accepted at the twice yearly community collection events.
Furniture is named in the bulky collection, and the community collection events take furniture in good and stable condition, while broken pieces have to go to the transfer station or a bulky booking.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection is included in the residential solid waste service with no published per item rate, and the events are free to register for but publish no fee, so confirm the terms with the hauler on 512-930-1715 or the city on 512-930-3640 as the case requires.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup for the scheduled collection day, or bring the piece to a community collection event on its published date. Nothing bulky goes to the curb more than 24 hours before a booked pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and stable so it can be handled, because the events refuse broken furniture and household items not on their list, and those go to the transfer station or a booked bulky collection instead. Take cushions and loose parts off the frame before it goes out, and keep the load inside three cubic yards.
Appliances are bulky items on the scheduled collection, with an added charge when a unit needs freon removal, while the community events take metal appliances only and refuse refrigerators.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection carries no published per item rate but does charge extra for items requiring freon removal, so confirm the booking and the added fee with Texas Disposal Systems on 512-930-1715 before the unit is set out.
When & how
Book the bulky collection for the scheduled day, with the unit at the curb no more than 24 hours before. A metal appliance can also go to a community collection event on its published date.
Get it ready
Arrange the freon removal before the pickup, because the city states that additional fees apply to items requiring it. Empty the unit and secure the doors, and do not take a refrigerator to a community collection event, where refrigerators are explicitly refused even though other metal appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters are accepted.
Televisions and other corded devices are taken at the community collection events, while the transfer station and the household hazardous waste events both refuse electronics.
City cost & eligibility
The community collection events publish no charge and register participants rather than pricing items, so confirm the date and any terms with the city on 512-930-3640 before storing a device for the event.
When & how
Hold the device for one of the two community collection events the city runs each year, which the bulky page confirms take electronics alongside tires, furniture and mattresses. Electronics are refused at the transfer station and at the hazardous waste events.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device leaves the house, and keep it out of the trash and recycling carts. Computer components can also go to Goodwill in Georgetown, which the city names for resale or recycling, and the events destroy data before breaking components down.
Construction waste is refused in the bulky collection and at the community events, so the published route is the transfer station, where fees are assessed at the gatehouse, or a private hauler.
City cost & eligibility
The transfer station assesses fees at the gatehouse and publishes no rate for a bulky load, and the city publishes no construction programme of its own, so confirm the charge at the gate or with the hauler on 512-930-1715 before loading.
When & how
Take the load to the transfer station at 250 W.L. Walden Drive, open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is no curbside route for construction material.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the bulky booking, because the city refuses it there along with ceramic or porcelain tubs, fibreglass insulation, sheet glass and sheet rock. Hazardous material is refused at the transfer station and belongs at a household hazardous waste event instead.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky examples, which list furniture, mattresses, toilets, appliances and carpet, so a machine is confirmed with the city or the hauler before it is booked.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection publishes no per item rate and exercise equipment is not named, so confirm whether the machine can be booked as bulky waste with the hauler on 512-930-1715, or whether it has to go to the transfer station for the gatehouse fee.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then book a bulky collection for the scheduled day or take the machine to the transfer station during its published hours.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, drain any water or oil reservoir, and keep the loose weights with the frame so the load fits inside three cubic yards. Metal only lawn equipment is accepted at the community events but an exercise machine is not on that list, so ask before relying on an event.
Tires are refused in the bulky collection and at the household hazardous waste events, and the published route is the community collection event, which takes four tires per car.
City cost & eligibility
The community collection events publish no charge and register participants rather than pricing tires, so confirm the event date and the four tire limit with the city on 512-930-3640 before loading.
When & how
Hold the tires for a community collection event, which takes up to four tires per car. Tires do not go in the bulky booking, the carts, the transfer station or a household hazardous waste event.
Get it ready
Keep the tires to four per vehicle and load them for the event rather than setting them at the curb. A tire retailer is the everyday alternative when an event is not imminent, since the city publishes no standing tire drop-off.
Bulky waste is a scheduled service four times a year, up to three cubic yards, with an advance booking, and ordinary extra bags outside the cart need a Bag Tag.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky collection is part of the residential solid waste account with no published per item rate, and a Bag Tag for material outside the cart has its own published price at the Municipal Complex, so confirm the booking with the hauler on 512-930-1715 and the tag price with customer care on 512-930-3640.
When & how
Book the bulky collection with the hauler and set it out on the scheduled collection day, no more than 24 hours in advance. The weekly cart collection runs on its own day, with trucks operating through the published daily window.
Get it ready
Fit everything inside the cart on a normal week, and buy a Bag Tag for any plastic bag or bundle left outside it, which is not required for paper bagged yard trimmings. Keep the bulky pile inside three cubic yards and off the curb until the day before the booked pickup, and keep material with a warning label out of every load.
Carts go to the curb by the time collection starts, and the city publishes the truck window for each season of the year. Everything has to fit inside the cart, and a plastic bag or bundle left outside it needs a Bag Tag to be collected.
Bulky material goes out only for the collection booked with the hauler, and the city does not allow it at the curb more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup. Each booked collection is limited to three cubic yards, and there are four bookings a year per household.
The community collection events take mattresses and box springs, furniture in good condition, paper for shredding with a limit of three containers, tires with a limit of four per car, corded electronics, metal only lawn equipment and metal appliances. Hazardous waste, medical material, batteries, light bulbs, refrigerators, oxygen tanks and construction debris are turned away.
Household hazardous waste events run four times a year and need registration by 5 p.m. on the Friday before, an identification matching an active utility account, and a vehicle that can be unloaded from the boot or back seat while the driver stays inside. No trailers are allowed and items must be in marked original containers.
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.
