A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Every household has an assigned bulky waste collection day each month, and items too large for the trash cart go out on that day at no additional charge inside a pile no larger than six feet by four feet by four feet.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Plano households inside the residential collection program, using the assigned monthly bulky waste day. There is no additional charge for a pile inside the published size, while a larger pile, an out of cycle collection or an unmanageable load has to be booked as a special paid collection.
When & how
Put the pile at the collection point no earlier than five days before the assigned bulky waste day and no later than 7 a.m. on that day. Call the city or use the interactive map to confirm the assigned day for the address.
Get it ready
Keep the pile no larger than six feet by four feet by four feet, within six feet of the alley or curb, and at least two feet from trash and recycling carts, fences, vehicles and gas meters, and keep it clear of overhead obstructions. Cut carpet and padding into small sections weighing no more than fifty pounds each, cut wood and fence sections to a maximum of six feet long by four feet wide and stack them no higher than four feet, and drain gas and oil from a lawnmower before it goes out.
Special paid collection for larger or out of cycle loads
Accepted with preparation
A pile over the bulky waste size, an out of cycle request, yard trimmings outside the weekly criteria or a large renovation load is booked as a special paid collection priced by the cubic yard with a minimum charge.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 for the published special paid collection rate of $10 per cubic yard subject to a $20 minimum, with a $25 environmental fee added for items containing refrigerant such as refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners and water coolers. City of Plano households booking the service through Customer Service, with the charge appearing on the city utility bill. The load has to be clear of obstacles because the collection is made with a boom truck.
When & how
Call Customer Service to schedule the paid collection, then keep the load clear of the fence, gas meter, mailbox, low hanging wires and anything else the boom truck needs to reach around.
Get it ready
Separate anything holding refrigerant so the environmental fee is applied correctly, keep roofing material, shingles, vehicle parts, tires, bricks, rock, asphalt, gravel, concrete, dirt, soil, sod, glass panes, doors and mirrors, compressed gas cylinders, railroad ties and hazardous waste out of the load because they are refused even on the paid route, and route contractor waste through the contractor or a permitted hauler.
Furniture is on the accepted bulky waste list, so a couch or a table goes out on the assigned monthly day inside the size limit, with carpet prepared in small light sections.
City cost & eligibility

When & how

Get it ready
Keep each piece dry enough to handle, count a mattress and a box spring separately against the pile size, and keep the bedding out of the trash and recycling carts.
The pile may not go out more than five days before the assigned bulky waste day, and it has to be out by 7 a.m. on the day itself. Keep it inside six feet by four feet by four feet, within six feet of the alley or curb, at least two feet from trash and recycling carts, fences, vehicles and gas meters, and clear of overhead obstructions. Cut carpet into sections under fifty pounds and wood or fence pieces to six feet by four feet stacked no more than four feet high.
A special paid collection is made with a boom truck, so the load has to be clear of the fence, gas meter, mailbox and any low hanging wires before the truck arrives. Items containing refrigerant carry an environmental fee on top of the per cubic yard rate, and roofing material, tires, vehicle parts, bricks, concrete, dirt, glass, compressed gas cylinders, railroad ties and hazardous products are refused even on the paid route.
