Houston's bulk pickup has limits — we don't
Houston's planned 311 call-to-schedule heavy trash system was put on hold in March 2026 due to chronic pickup delays and budget overruns — the monthly route schedule continues. The Solid Waste overtime budget was exceeded early in the fiscal year. 311 missed-pickup service requests have spiked. The old monthly schedule generated 659 illegal dumping reports in just 4 weeks. Gainsborough Waste and other Houston transfer stations charge ~$40 per pickup truck load (first-time customers get $25 off). Snap Junk Removal charges $33-48/cubic yard with a $185 minimum (3-yard minimum). Fire Dawgs starts at $99 (curbside minimum). Tex Mex Junk Removal from $165.

LoadUp starts at $79 per item.
Monthly Heavy Trash route schedule continues — the planned 311 on-demand system was put on hold in March 2026. Chronic pickup backlogs, budget overruns, and staffing shortages persist.

Does Houston offer free bulk pickup?
Yes. Houston planned a 311 call-to-schedule heavy trash system for March 2026, but the rollout was put on hold due to chronic pickup delays and budget overruns. The monthly neighborhood route schedule continues. The city's 311 center has seen a sharp spike in missed-pickup service requests. The Solid Waste overtime budget was exceeded early in the fiscal year. Free for residents. Appliances, electronics, tires, and construction debris excluded.
