Appliances are named as heavy trash, and a refrigerator or freezer is taken only after the Freon has been drained with a bill to prove the work was done.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Katy residential accounts paying the monthly garbage rate, within the weekly three item heavy trash allowance, with a refrigerator or freezer accepted only when drained of Freon and accompanied by a bill validating the service; the Trash Off event also accepts appliances for recycling.
When & how
Arrange the Freon removal and keep the bill, then put the appliance beside the cart on the household's collection day by 7 AM, or take it to the Trash Off recycling event on its announced date.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, secure or remove the doors, and keep the Freon bill with the appliance on collection day because the hauler requires it as proof the work was done. Never put an appliance in the garbage cart, and keep refrigerants out of the general waste stream.
One weekly collection, three routes and a written allowance
Katy residential collection runs once a week on a route colour: blue for Monday, red for Tuesday and yellow for Wednesday, with small commercial accounts served Tuesday and Friday and recycling and heavy trash for those accounts on Tuesday. Household waste goes in the cart near the kerb by 7 AM, recycling goes in loose and clean, and the household allowance covers up to three bulky items a week plus yard debris of 15 bags not over 35 pounds each and branch bundles under 40 pounds cut to 4 foot lengths, capped at 4 cubic yards a service day. The hauler observes New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, collecting on the next day when a service falls on one of them.
Four times a year the city adds a super heavy trash collection on the first collection day of March, June, September and December, and it takes bulky items, bags and bundles in a volume that cannot exceed 6 cubic yards, which the city compares to about six washing machines. That is the window for a cleanout that will not fit inside the weekly three item allowance, and anything larger than the published allowance, or a pile of debris rather than household items, is a pay pile the hauler quotes before collection.
The city excludes dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, liquid paints, fuels, oils, tires, pesticides, fertilizer, batteries, pallets, construction debris and hazardous waste from collection and tells residents to ask the hauler for a solution. Two other routes cover part of that list. The Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off recycling event takes electronics including televisions, appliances, scrap metal, paper, plastic bags and eyeglasses on its announced date, while refusing CRT monitors, mercury containing devices, tires, motor oil, paint, yard debris and hazardous waste. The city also lists Harris County Recycling, Fort Bend County Recycling, the Waller County Recycling Center and the regional recycling guide as drop-off options, and it describes a drying method for latex paint so that the hardened paint can go in the garbage and the can can be recycled.
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 City of Katy residential account that needs the weekly cart, recycling, up to three bulky items and yard debris collection.
Cost & conditions
$16.85 per month for the residential garbage, recycling, heavy trash and yard debris service under the rate effective September 1 2025, with extra carts at $2.09 per cart per month and small commercial accounts at $25.70 per month. Residential accounts inside the city limits of Katy, which are billed for the service through the city utility account; a Katy mailing address alone does not put an address inside the city, so the city asks prospective customers to check the residency map before applying.
Arrange it
Find the route colour and collection day for the address, put carts and bulky items out by 7 AM, and request extra carts or a smaller 65 gallon cart by email to the hauler, which delivers within a week and adds the charge to the water bill.
The service covers household waste, single stream recycling, up to three bulky items a week and yard debris inside the 15 bag and 4 cubic yard limits. Excluded material such as dirt, concrete, tires, batteries, pallets and construction debris is refused, and volumes beyond the allowance are quoted as a pay pile.
A household with a cleanout load of bulky items, bags and bundles that is larger than the weekly three item allowance.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Katy residential accounts paying the monthly garbage rate; the quarterly pickup is part of that service and covers bulky items, bags and bundles up to 6 cubic yards.
Arrange it
Put the load out on the first collection day of March, June, September or December, the same weekday as the household's normal collection, and keep the total volume under 6 cubic yards.
One pickup a quarter, a 6 cubic yard cap, and the same excluded list applies, so no dirt, concrete, tires, batteries, pallets, construction debris or hazardous waste. Anything larger becomes a quoted pay pile.
A household with electronics, an appliance, scrap metal, paper, clean plastic bags or eyeglasses to recycle on the city's community collection day.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the Trash Off collection list and site but no fee and only the announced event date, so confirm the next date and any charge with the city at (281) 391-4800 before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the items to the Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off collection on its announced date at the published site, which in 2026 ran on April 11 from 9 AM to noon at Katy's First Baptist Church.
A single announced event rather than a year round drop-off, with cardboard, plastic bottles, medical and biohazard waste, nuclear and radioactive waste, PCB material, mercury containing devices including fluorescent bulbs and thermostats, transformers, tires, hazardous waste, CRT monitors, motor oil, paint, yard debris and pallets all refused.
Use a county recycling or household hazardous waste drop-off
A household with recyclables, paint, oil, Freon items or tires that the city collection excludes and the Trash Off event does not cover.
Cost & conditions
The city links the county programmes rather than publishing their rates, and the Fort Bend centre states that fees must be paid by cash or check only, so confirm the accepted material and the charge with the relevant county before a trip.
Arrange it
The city's miscellaneous disposal page lists Harris County Recycling, Fort Bend County Recycling, the Waller County Recycling Center and the regional recycling guide; the Fort Bend County centre at 1200 Blume Road in Rosenberg is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM and closed Wednesdays and holidays.
County programmes serve their own residents, the Fort Bend centre is a recycling and household hazardous waste drop-off rather than a trash site, it refuses business, commercial and agricultural waste, and it accepts payment by cash or check only. The city also directs paint, oil, Freon and tire questions to Earth911.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Katy.
How much does appliance removal cost in Katy?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Katy?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
What is required before a fridge goes out in Katy?+
Freon removal with a bill to prove it. The hauler's heavy trash rules require refrigerators and freezers to be drained of Freon with a bill validating the service, and appliances are otherwise accepted as part of the weekly three item heavy trash allowance at the kerb. The Trash Off event also accepts refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, microwaves, washers and dryers for recycling on its announced April date.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Katy?+
Texas Pride Disposal does, under a contract with the City of Katy for residents and small businesses. Residential collection is once a week on a route colour, blue for Monday, red for Tuesday and yellow for Wednesday, with household waste in the cart near the kerb by 7 AM and recycling loose and clean in the recycling cart. Customer service runs through the hauler at 281-342-8178 extension 102 or katy@texaspridedisposal.com, and the city states that a Katy mailing address does not by itself mean the address is inside the city limits.Official guidance
How much heavy trash can a Katy household put out?+
Up to three bulky items such as furniture, appliances or objects that will not fit the cart, every week, placed beside the garbage cart on the route day. On top of that the city runs a quarterly super heavy trash pickup on the first collection day of March, June, September and December for bulky items, bags and bundles up to 6 cubic yards, and yard debris is limited to 15 bags under 35 pounds each with branch bundles under 40 pounds cut to 4 foot lengths and a 4 cubic yard cap per service day.Official guidance
What will Katy not collect at the kerb?+
The city excludes dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, liquid paints, fuels, oils, tires, pesticides, fertilizer, batteries, pallets, construction debris and hazardous waste, and it tells residents to contact the hauler for a disposal solution rather than setting the material out. A refrigerator or freezer is accepted only when it has been drained of Freon with a bill to prove the work was done, and large amounts of debris are handled as a pay pile that has to be quoted first.Official guidance
Where do Katy electronics and paint go?+
Electronics go to the Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off recycling collection, which takes computers, laptops, monitors, televisions, printers, cables, drives, network equipment, phones, toner cartridges, batteries and more while refusing CRT monitors, mercury containing devices, motor oil, paint and hazardous waste. Latex paint does not need a special trip: the city's method is to dry the paint out with air or kitty litter, place the hardened paint in the garbage and recycle the can, and it directs oil based paint, oil, Freon and tire questions to Earth911 or to the county programmes it lists.Official guidance
