City collection Small furniture is named among the bulky items Frontier Waste collects, so a couch or similar piece goes out on the recycling service day within the two cubic yard weekly allowance. No charge. Small furniture is collected inside the weekly two cubic yards of bulk and green waste under the City's residential contract, with anything above the allowance handled through a supervisor service call and estimate.
City collection Mattresses are named among the bulky items Frontier Waste collects, so a mattress goes out with the weekly heavy trash inside the two cubic yard allowance. No charge. A mattress is collected inside the weekly two cubic yards of bulk and green waste under the City's residential contract, with anything above the allowance handled through a supervisor service call and estimate.
City collection Appliances are named among the bulky items collected at the curb, and a refrigerator needs its Freon removed by a licensed technician before it is placed out. The recycling center on Magnolia Parkway also takes appliances, with refrigerator and freezer doors removed first. Curbside appliance collection is inside the weekly two cubic yard allowance, but the Freon removal is the resident's own arrangement with a licensed technician and its cost is not published. At the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, non-refrigerated appliances have no cost, a refrigerated appliance that is not drained and tagged was set at $15, and a refrigerator or freezer with the doors still attached was set at $10.
City collection Household trash is collected twice a week in the gray cart with the green lid, and every bag has to be inside the cart. Collection days depend on where the address sits, so a household is on the Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, or Wednesday and Saturday route. The City and the hauler do not publish a monthly residential collection rate on the service pages, so confirm the current residential service charge with Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 or the City at 281-652-1603.
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?
Pearland contracts its city-wide residential collection to Frontier Waste Solutions, with trash picked up twice a week, single stream recycling once a week, and heavy trash collected on the same day as recycling. Bulk waste and green waste share one weekly allowance of two cubic yards, which covers small furniture, mattresses and appliances, so a sofa or mattress goes out beside the carts rather than waiting for an appointment. A refrigerator needs its Freon removed by a licensed technician before it is eligible, and a load above the weekly allowance moves to a supervisor service call that produces an estimate. Household hazardous waste and electronics run separately through Keep Pearland Beautiful at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center on Magnolia Parkway, where Pearland utility customers pay no fee for televisions and hazardous material. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Pearland.
Household trash is collected twice a week in the gray cart with the green lid, and every bag has to be inside the cart. Collection days depend on where the address sits, so a household is on the Monday and Thursday, Tuesday and Friday, or Wednesday and Saturday route.
City cost & eligibility
The City and the hauler do not publish a monthly residential collection rate on the service pages, so confirm the current residential service charge with Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 or the City at 281-652-1603.
When & how
Trash is collected twice a week on the route that matches the address, and Frontier observes only Thanksgiving and Christmas, resuming on the next regularly scheduled day when collection falls on a holiday.
Get it ready
Bag the trash and keep all of it inside the cart, because loose or extra material is not collected. Set the cart at the curb between 5 p.m. the day before and 7 a.m. on the collection day, and keep it 4 feet from any other object with the lid opening facing the street.
Recycling is collected once a week in the green cart with the yellow lid and is single stream, so the material does not need to be sorted at the curb. Paper, cardboard, metal cans, plastics coded 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, and glass bottles and jars are all part of the curbside mix.
City cost & eligibility
Recycling is part of the contracted residential service, and no separate residential recycling rate is published, so confirm the service charge with Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 or the City at 281-652-1603.
When & how
Recycling is collected once a week, and the same weekly recycling day is the one that carries heavy trash and green waste.
Get it ready
Put recyclables in the cart loose rather than in plastic bags, which are refused at the curb and at the recycling center. Keep ceramics, cookware, plate or window glass, food and wet waste, leaves and branches, light bulbs and styrofoam out of the cart, and set it out before 7 a.m. with the lid opening facing the street.
Green waste shares the weekly two cubic yard allowance with heavy trash and is collected on the recycling day. The City requires clear translucent bags for green waste, and brush goes out tied in short bundles.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Green waste is collected inside the weekly two cubic yard bulk and green waste allowance under the City's contract with Frontier Waste, with material above the allowance handled through a supervisor service call that produces an estimate.
When & how
Green waste is collected once a week on the recycling service day, together with the household's two cubic yard allowance of bulk material.
Get it ready
Put leaves and grass clippings in clear translucent bags or paper bags so they can be identified, and tie brush and branches in bundles no longer than 4 feet and no heavier than 40 pounds. Leaves and grass clippings may also go in the trash cart on the trash service day.
Heavy trash is collected on the same day as recycling, and bulky waste shares one weekly allowance of two cubic yards with green waste. The hauler describes that allowance as roughly a pile six feet by three feet by three feet.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulky waste is collected inside the weekly two cubic yards of bulk and green waste under the City's residential contract, with material above the allowance handled through a supervisor service call that produces an estimate.
When & how
Bulky waste goes out on the recycling service day, once a week, and it is collected together with the household's green waste.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside the two cubic yard allowance, place it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and keep it to household material such as small furniture, a mattress or an appliance. For a load over the limit, call the hauler for a supervisor service call and estimate.
Small furniture is named among the bulky items Frontier Waste collects, so a couch or similar piece goes out on the recycling service day within the two cubic yard weekly allowance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Small furniture is collected inside the weekly two cubic yards of bulk and green waste under the City's residential contract, with anything above the allowance handled through a supervisor service call and estimate.
When & how
Set the furniture at the curb by 7 a.m. on the recycling service day, together with the rest of the household's bulky and green waste.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the weekly two cubic yard allowance, and take off cushions or drawers where that keeps the pile compact. Anything larger than the allowance is quoted through a supervisor service call instead.
Mattresses are named among the bulky items Frontier Waste collects, so a mattress goes out with the weekly heavy trash inside the two cubic yard allowance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress is collected inside the weekly two cubic yards of bulk and green waste under the City's residential contract, with anything above the allowance handled through a supervisor service call and estimate.
When & how
Put the mattress at the curb by 7 a.m. on the recycling service day with the rest of the bulky pile.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and flat beside the other bulky items so the pile stays inside the weekly allowance and can be collected in one pass.
Appliances are named among the bulky items collected at the curb, and a refrigerator needs its Freon removed by a licensed technician before it is placed out. The recycling center on Magnolia Parkway also takes appliances, with refrigerator and freezer doors removed first.
City cost & eligibility
Curbside appliance collection is inside the weekly two cubic yard allowance, but the Freon removal is the resident's own arrangement with a licensed technician and its cost is not published. At the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, non-refrigerated appliances have no cost, a refrigerated appliance that is not drained and tagged was set at $15, and a refrigerator or freezer with the doors still attached was set at $10.
When & how
Have the refrigerant removed first, then set the appliance out by 7 a.m. on the recycling service day. The recycling center takes appliances Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with large appliances at the rear of the facility.
Get it ready
Arrange the Freon removal with a licensed technician, who is the one who makes the unit eligible for curbside collection. At the recycling center, remove refrigerator and freezer doors before arrival, keep guests in the vehicle, and separate small appliances for the drive-thru area and large appliances for the rear drop-off.
Televisions and electronics do not go in the curbside carts. They are taken at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, where City of Pearland utility customers and Brazoria County residents pay no fee with identification.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. There is no cost for televisions and other electronics for Brazoria County residents with an unexpired license or ID, and for City of Pearland residents who show a water bill with a matching driver license or ID. The published fees of $5 for a flat panel set and $15 for a CRT or projection set apply to other users.
When & how
Take electronics to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center at 5800 Magnolia Parkway, open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Hazardous waste and chemicals are accepted only on Fridays and Saturdays during those same hours.
Get it ready
Sort the material before arrival, stay in the vehicle for the attendants, and deliver it in boxes, bins or reusable totes rather than dark plastic bags. Remove batteries from small electronics and separate them by type, and remove personal data before a computer or phone leaves the house.
Construction and remodeling material is not named in the curbside bulky list, which the hauler describes as small furniture, mattresses and appliances. A project load has to go through the over-limit service call or another route.
City cost & eligibility
There is no curbside bulky rate for construction material, and the hauler publishes no amount for the supervisor service call that handles material over the weekly two cubic yard allowance, because it provides an estimate after looking at the load. Confirm the estimate with Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 before a project load is set out.
When & how
Call Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 or email pearland@frontierwaste.com so a supervisor can review the load and provide an estimate and schedule, because the curbside bulky service does not cover a project load.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, drywall, roofing, tile, fixtures and demolition rubble out of the carts and off the curb, and describe the load accurately when the supervisor service call is requested so the estimate matches the material.
Tires are not named in the curbside bulky list or in the recycling center's accepted materials, so Pearland publishes no city tire route.
City cost & eligibility
There is no published curbside tire collection and the recycling center does not list tires, so no city tire rate exists. Ask Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 or the City at 281-652-1603 about the route currently in use before storing tires.
When & how
Ask the hauler or the City about a current tire route, because neither the curbside bulky service nor the recycling center lists tires.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the trash cart, the recycling cart, the bulky pile and the recycling center load.
Paint, cleaners, lawn chemicals, pool chemicals, thinners and similar material are taken at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center on Fridays and Saturdays only. Pearland utility customers are exempt from the published per pound hazardous waste rate.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The published hazardous waste rate does not apply to City of Pearland utility customers, Brazoria County residents or Dickinson WCID 1 customers, so a Pearland household that pays the city water bill is not charged the per pound rate. Pearland and Brazoria County residents have a 150 pound limit on hazardous items.
When & how
Hazardous waste and chemicals are accepted only on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with no appointment required.
Get it ready
Keep the material in separate, clearly labeled and securely fastened containers, and limit paints, stains and varnishes to 25 containers. Bring adhesives, brake fluid, household chemicals and cleaners, lawn chemicals and fertilizers, paints, stains and varnishes, paint thinners, mineral spirits and solvents, and pool chemicals. Batteries, fluorescent tubes, fire extinguishers and automotive fluids carry their own fees and handling, and mercury carries a higher flat charge.
Exercise equipment is not named in the hauler's bulky list, so the route depends on the machine. A piece that fits within the weekly allowance is ordinary household bulky material.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment has no named local rate. Confirm with Frontier Waste at 936-258-9035 whether the machine fits the weekly two cubic yard bulky and green waste allowance, or whether it needs a supervisor service call with an estimate.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then set it out by 7 a.m. on the recycling service day if it fits the allowance.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine where the maker allows it, keep the parts together as one item, and keep the pile inside the weekly two cubic yard allowance so the load is collected in one pass.
Garbage and recycling go at the curb between 5 p.m. the day before collection and 7 a.m. on the collection day. The hauler asks for 4 feet of clearance from mailboxes, cars and other carts, with the lid opening facing the street.
Bulky waste and green waste are collected together once a week on the recycling service day, and the two share one allowance of two cubic yards, which the hauler describes as roughly six feet by three feet by three feet. Anything above that needs a supervisor service call and an estimate.
The City requires clear translucent bags for green waste so the material can be identified, and paper bags are also accepted. Leaves and grass clippings may instead go in the trash cart on the trash service day, and brush goes out tied in bundles no longer than 4 feet and no heavier than 40 pounds.
A refrigerator is only eligible for curbside collection once the Freon has been removed by a licensed technician, and the City directs residents to a local refrigerant company for that step. At the recycling center a refrigerated appliance also carries handling requirements, and doors come off before arrival.
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.

Households with more than the weekly two cubic yard allowance, or a project load the curbside bulky service does not cover.
