A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is on the city's accepted bulky list and leaves on a requested BABIC pickup, which the city provides at no additional cost to residents. Anything heavier than 50 pounds is called in and set at the curbside right-of-way, while lighter pieces go out with the twice weekly refuse.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Richardson residents requesting the service for material generated on their own property, inside the city's suggested limit of eight requests a year. The city states that bulky item collection is provided at no additional cost.
When & how
Request the pickup online or on 972-744-4111, put the furniture at the curbside right-of-way before midnight on the night before the designated collection day, and check the service delay page because a delayed route usually runs the next day.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to accepted bulk, put anything under 50 pounds in the regular refuse instead, and leave prohibited material out: construction and remodeling debris, roofing, tile, concrete, dirt, glass and window frames, compressed gas cylinders, vehicle parts and tires.
Brush and bulky item collectionAcceptable and prohibited material

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

Mattress and box springs are named together on the city's accepted bulky list, so bedding is a BABIC request rather than a cart item. The same no additional cost rule and the same eight request guide apply.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Richardson residents requesting a BABIC pickup for a bed generated at their own address, with the city asking residents to limit requests to about eight calls a year. No separate mattress charge is published.
When & how
Request the pickup, then leave the bed at the curbside right-of-way before midnight the night before the designated collection day.
Get it ready
Count the mattress and the box spring as the pieces being collected, keep them dry, and keep them off the sidewalk and clear of the cart. Items under 50 pounds belong in the twice weekly refuse, so a light foam piece may not need a request at all.
Brush and bulky item collectionAcceptable and prohibited material

Household trash, bags and the 50 pound split

Accepted with preparation

Household trash and recycling are collected twice a week. What fits the weight limit goes to the normal pickup point, while limbs, logs and bulky items over 50 pounds go to the curbside right-of-way and, if they are bulky, have to be called in.

City cost & eligibility
$10 for resident price for a 50 count roll of 30 gallon 2 mil black refuse bags, in force since the city's October 1, 2023 pricing, with a nonresident roll at $10.50 and a 26 count roll of blue recycling bags at $4.50 resident and $5.00 nonresident. Richardson residents buying the city's required refuse bags, which the city sells because they meet the code requirements. Blue recycling bags are free through the city's recycling bag vouchers, which are redeemed at the Heights and Huffhines recreation centres, and the city's own bag page is the source for every figure here.
When & how
Use the twice weekly collection day on the published map, and put anything over 50 pounds at the curbside right-of-way instead of the normal pickup point.
Get it ready
Bag the trash in the city-approved bags, which the city recommends in black or dark colours at 2 mil thickness, keep the normal pickup point clear for carts and lighter material, and keep prohibited material out of every stream: hazardous waste, construction debris, tires, concrete, glass and compressed gas cylinders.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Under 50 pounds rides the regular truck, over 50 pounds gets a call

Richardson splits material by weight. Household trash, recycling, plastic bags and anything under 50 pounds, including small appliances, microwaves, chairs and vacuums, go to the normal pickup point for the twice weekly collection. Vegetative debris such as limbs and logs over 50 pounds goes to the curbside right-of-way, and a bulky item such as an appliance or piece of furniture over 50 pounds has to be called in as a Brush and Bulky Item Collection and left at the right-of-way.

Residential regular trashBrush and bulky item collection

A bulky pickup starts with a request

BABIC is a service provided by request, so the pile does not move until the request is made through the online form or 972-744-4111. Material goes out before midnight on the night before the designated collection day, the city asks residents to limit themselves to about eight requests a year, and a route shown as delayed on the service page usually runs the following day, including Saturday. If a scheduled pile is missed in error, the 24 hour response centre is the same number.

Brush and bulky item collection

The pile never includes construction debris, tires or glass

Roofing materials and shingles, tile and laminate flooring, hazardous waste such as paint, oil, pesticides and solvents, buildings and sheds, concrete, asphalt, bricks, rocks, gravel, dirt, sand, sod and railroad ties, ceramic tile, remodeling and construction debris, glass, mirrors, windows and window frames, compressed gas or air cylinders and vehicle parts including tires are all prohibited from the bulky pile. Construction material goes in an open-top container from a city-permitted hauler who bills the resident directly.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Richardson residents have three routes, and the 50 pound line decides which one applies. Anything under 50 pounds goes out with the twice weekly refuse collection at the normal pickup point, using the city's refuse bags. Anything over 50 pounds goes to the curbside right-of-way, and if it is bulky, such as furniture, a mattress and box springs, a large appliance or a large television or monitor, it has to be requested as a Brush and Bulky Item Collection on 972-744-4111 or through the online form and left out before midnight on the night before the designated day, at no additional cost and within the city's suggested limit of about eight requests a year. Residents can also drive regular trash to the NTMWD Lookout Transfer Station at 1601 E. Lookout Drive, Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a driver's licence and current water bill, but that site refuses hazardous waste and electronics and brush goes to the Custer Transfer Station in Plano instead. Construction and demolition debris is outside all of this: the ordinance leaves it to city-permitted haulers who contract with the resident and bill them directly, and the bulky service refuses it along with tires, concrete, glass and hazardous material.
