The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Laredo runs its own collection, with garbage, recycling and lawn clippings once a week in the city carts and a brush route on a five day rotating schedule for households that pay the residential garbage fee. Bulky items are the city's appointment service: households paying the garbage fee get two free collections a year, each taking up to four items, and the acceptable list names furniture, mattresses, box springs, carpets, swing sets, plastic pools, large toys, bicycles and large household appliances. Anything past those limits is charged on the published per item schedule, and the City of Laredo Landfill on State Highway 359 is the second route, taking household loads for a couple of dollars on a weekday and free on Saturdays up to a ton, along with tires, used motor oil, mulch and the household hazardous waste drop-off for batteries, computers, paints and other chemicals. Televisions and monitors are the exception: the city refuses electronic waste in the bulky pile by name.

When & how
Call the bulky item line to book the work order, then put the furniture out on the day the city assigns, keeping it inside the right of way rather than on private property.
Get it ready
Keep the piece at least ten feet from parked cars, mailboxes, water meters, fences, walls, power lines and overhanging trees, keep it accessible from the street, and never let the pile block a sidewalk or cover the street surface.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the city's acceptable bulky item list, alongside furniture, carpets, swing sets and large appliances, so a bed leaves on the same appointment route with the same two free collections a year and four item cap.

No charge. Covered by the same two free bulky collections a year for households paying the residential garbage fee, with up to four items per pickup; a third pickup or extra items are charged on the published schedule.
When & how
Book the work order on the bulky item line, then set the mattress out on the assigned day rather than on the normal cart day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and counted with the other items against the four item limit, keep it ten feet clear of cars, mailboxes, meters and low overhead lines, and keep it inside the right of way so the crew can reach it from the street.
Large household appliances are named in the city's acceptable bulky item list, and the same page and the city FAQ give a second route: residents can take appliances to the landfill with identification and a matching utility bill, where a load under two thousand pounds costs a couple of dollars on a weekday and nothing on Saturdays.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Covered by the two free bulky collections a year for households paying the residential garbage fee, with up to four items per pickup; the landfill alternative is charged at the published resident rate on weekdays and is free on Saturdays up to a ton.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup on the appointment line, or load the appliance and take it to the landfill on a weekday or a Saturday while the landfill is open.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it upright, tape or tie the doors and cords, and bring identification and a city utility bill matching the address if you are hauling it to the landfill yourself.
Electronic waste is refused on the city's brush and bulky route by name, including televisions, monitors and computer equipment. The documented destination is the household hazardous waste drop-off site at the City of Laredo Landfill, which the city describes as taking batteries, computers, paints and other hazardous materials for residents, so a television in particular has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the household hazardous waste drop-off for computers and other household hazardous material but no fee and no television detail, while electronic waste is prohibited from the bulky service. Call 3-1-1 to confirm that a television or monitor is accepted, when the site is open and whether anything is charged.
When & how
Ask 3-1-1 first, then take the devices to the household hazardous waste drop-off at the City of Laredo Landfill rather than adding them to a bulky pile, where they are prohibited.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers and phones, keep cables and remote controls with the device they belong to, keep batteries with the household hazardous waste load rather than the carts, and keep everything electronic out of the blue recycling cart.
Laredo prices construction and demolition debris as its own service. Removal of wood, sheet rock, carpet, siding and other inert waste is offered to any residential or commercial account that requests it, at a minimum charge for the first five cubic yards with each additional cubic yard priced separately, and the same material is refused in the garbage cart.
City cost & eligibility
From $55 for minimum charge for up to five cubic yards of construction and demolition debris or other inert waste, with each additional cubic yard or part of one charged separately. Available to any residential or commercial account requesting the service, and the loose material has to be in the right of way with the same clearances the brush and bulky page requires.
When & how
Call the city to book the debris collection, and keep the material out of the garbage cart in the meantime because construction and demolition debris is refused there.
Get it ready
Measure the pile with the city's own length by width by height formula so the cubic yardage is clear before the call, keep wood, sheet rock, carpet and siding separated from household garbage, and keep the pile clear of parked cars, meters, fences and overhead lines.
Exercise equipment is not named in Laredo's acceptable bulky item list, which names furniture, mattresses, box springs, carpets, swing sets, plastic pools, large toys, bicycles and large household appliances. A machine therefore has to be confirmed with the city before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine appears on the acceptable list and no price is published for one. Call the bulky item line at 956-796-1098 or 3-1-1 and confirm whether a treadmill or weight machine counts as a bulky item inside the two free collections a year or is charged on the per item schedule.
When & how
Confirm the item first, then set it out on the assigned bulky day if the city accepts it, rather than on the normal cart day.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, tape the cables and keep the frame, deck and console parts together, and keep it inside the right of way with ten feet of clearance from cars, meters and overhead lines.
Laredo runs bulky collection by appointment rather than as a set-out morning. Households paying the residential garbage fee receive two free collections a year under the city ordinance, each taking up to four items, and further pickups or households outside the fee schedule are charged per item on a published scale that drops with each additional item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two free bulky collections a year for households paying the City of Laredo residential garbage fee, up to four items per pickup, scheduled on the bulky item line; households not paying the fee, or loads past the allowance, are charged on the published per item schedule.
When & how
Call the bulky item line to open a work order, then set the items out on the day assigned, keeping them inside the right of way and clear of the ten foot buffer around cars, meters, fences and overhead lines.
Get it ready
Count the items against the four item allowance, keep electronic waste, batteries, car parts, engines and anything with a title out of the pile because those are prohibited, and never block the sidewalk or the street surface.
Tires are refused in the garbage cart and routed to the City of Laredo Landfill. Residents can bring up to four passenger tires a day at no cost with identification and a city utility bill matching the address, while commercial accounts pay per passenger tire, 18 wheeler tires cost more and tractor trailer or special size tires are charged by the ton.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to four passenger tires per day free for City of Laredo residents who show valid identification and a city utility bill matching the address; commercial accounts pay the published per tire charges and special size tires are charged by the ton.
When & how
Take the tires to the City of Laredo Landfill on State Highway 359 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and keep the count to four passenger tires for the day.
Get it ready
Bring identification and a utility bill matching the address, keep tires out of the garbage and recycling carts, and keep commercial or oversized tires out of a residential load because those are charged differently.
Household chemicals go to the city's own drop-off site at the landfill rather than the curb. The City of Laredo Environmental Department runs the site for batteries, computers, paints and other hazardous materials, for residential households only, and used motor oil has its own free drop-offs at the landfill, a fire station and the Public Works yard.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the household hazardous waste drop-off site and its residential scope but no fee schedule, while the used motor oil sites are described as free. Call 3-1-1 to confirm the accepted list, the current hours and whether anything is charged before loading chemicals.
When & how
Call 3-1-1 for the current drop-off arrangements, then take the material to the household hazardous waste site at the City of Laredo Landfill, or take used motor oil to the landfill, Fire Station #9 on Mines Road or the Public Works yard on Daugherty Avenue.
Get it ready
Keep products in their labelled containers and never mix them, keep paint, solvents, motor oil and chemicals out of the garbage cart and the recycling cart, and keep commercial quantities out of the residential drop-off because only household hazardous waste is accepted.
Garbage, recycling and lawn clippings are collected once a week, and the Willie Bote cart goes out by 6:30 a.m. about four feet away from large objects with no vehicle blocking it. The cart refuses hot ashes, flammable liquids or solids, solvents, motor oil, hazardous materials, concrete blocks, paint, construction and demolition debris, dirt, rocks and steel, and a second cart can be rented for a monthly fee through the 3-1-1 call centre. Everything bagged keeps maggots out and the cart cleaner.
Bulky items go out by appointment, with room around them
Bulky collection is booked as a work order rather than put out on the normal cart day, and households paying the residential garbage fee get two free collections a year with up to four items in each. The pile has to sit inside the right of way, at least ten feet from parked cars, mailboxes, connection boxes, water meters, fences, walls, power lines and overhanging trees, and it must never block a sidewalk, cover the street surface or obstruct traffic.
The landfill is the second route, and it prices by the load
The City of Laredo Landfill on State Highway 359 opens Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting, with utility trailers entering thirty minutes before closing and 18 wheelers inside by 2:30 p.m. A city resident load under two thousand pounds costs two dollars on a weekday and is free on Saturdays up to a ton, weight beyond the first ton is charged by the ton, tires are free in limited numbers for residents, used motor oil and mulch are free, and the household hazardous waste drop-off takes batteries, computers and paints from residential households.
