City collection Furniture is named on the city's bulk list, including televisions, rugs and carpet, so it rides the twice-monthly bulk week. No per-piece furniture charge is published; furniture rides the residential contract billed at $25.00 per month plus $2.06 sales tax, and only a pile over the six cubic yard limit needs a priced special pickup. Confirm the load on 972-771-7736.
City collection No Rockwall page names a mattress, so the piece has to be confirmed as bulk before it goes to the curb. The city's bulk list names stoves, water tanks, washing machines and furniture but no mattress, and no mattress charge is published, so confirm whether a mattress or box spring is accepted on the bulk week with Utility Billing on 972-771-7736 before it goes out.
City collection A cooling appliance is collected only after the Freon has been removed and the unit tagged by a certified technician. The city publishes no collection charge for a tagged cooling appliance, and the technician's charge for removing the refrigerant is not published either, so arrange the tag first and confirm the unit with Utility Billing on 972-771-7736.
City collection Garbage is collected once a week in a city-provided cart, bagged with the lid closed, and nothing outside the cart is collected. $25 for the monthly residential garbage and recycling rate, before the $2.06 sales tax that brings the published total to $27.06. City of Rockwall residential accounts billed through Utility Billing on 972-771-7736. An additional cart costs $5.00 per month plus $0.41 tax, and the city's 2026 table lists a household hazardous waste line of $1.14.
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?
Rockwall contracts its collection to Republic Services and bills it on the water bill. Garbage and recycling run one day a week in city-provided carts that have to be bagged, closed and three feet clear of anything else, while brush and bulk come off the front curb once in each twice-monthly bulk week with a six cubic yard limit. Furniture, stoves, water tanks and washing machines are on the bulk list, a refrigerator or freezer only goes out once a certified technician has removed the Freon and tagged it, and household chemicals and many electronics are collected from the front porch by appointment through the city's hazardous waste partner.
Garbage is collected once a week in a city-provided cart, bagged with the lid closed, and nothing outside the cart is collected.
City cost & eligibility
$25 for the monthly residential garbage and recycling rate, before the $2.06 sales tax that brings the published total to $27.06. City of Rockwall residential accounts billed through Utility Billing on 972-771-7736. An additional cart costs $5.00 per month plus $0.41 tax, and the city's 2026 table lists a household hazardous waste line of $1.14.
When & how
Put the cart at the curb or in the alley by 7 a.m. on the household's one weekly collection day, and not before 6 p.m. the night before. A collection day that falls on or after a listed holiday is delayed one day.
Get it ready
Bag all garbage inside the cart so the lid closes fully, keep nothing beside or on top of the cart, keep three feet clear of other carts, cars, mailboxes and poles, and keep household hazardous waste out of both carts entirely.
Recycling is collected once a week in its own cart, loose and unsorted, and the refusal list keeps electronics, batteries, yard waste and construction material out.
City cost & eligibility
Recycling is part of the same $25.00 monthly residential garbage and recycling rate that carries $2.06 in sales tax, and no separate recycling charge is published. Confirm the account and any additional cart on 972-771-7736.
When & how
Put the recycling cart out with the garbage cart on the household's one weekly collection day.
Get it ready
Leave the material loose in the cart with no bagging and no sorting. Rinse metal and glass, remove lids from plastic bottles, keep paper and cardboard clean and dry, and keep plastic bags, wrappers, Styrofoam, electronics, batteries, yard waste, diapers, construction waste, medical waste and soiled paper out of the cart.
Brush and bulk are collected Monday through Friday of the household's bulk week, twice a month, from the front curb with a six cubic yard limit.
City cost & eligibility
Brush and bulk are part of the residential contract billed at $25.00 per month plus $2.06 sales tax, and no per-item charge is published. A pile over the six cubic yard limit needs a scheduled special pickup on 972-422-2341, whose price is not published, so confirm the pile and any charge with Utility Billing on 972-771-7736.
When & how
Put everything at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your scheduled bulk week, and it will be collected sometime that week. Confirm the household's week with Utility Billing, because the zone schedules published as PDFs are labeled 2025 while the page shows 2026 zone maps.
Get it ready
Keep the whole pile within six cubic yards, which is nine feet long, six feet high and three feet wide. Alley homes still put brush and bulk at the front, never in the alley, and nothing goes under trees or wires, in the street or on top of the water meter. Tie brush bundles so each one is under four feet long, six inches in diameter and 50 pounds.
Furniture is named on the city's bulk list, including televisions, rugs and carpet, so it rides the twice-monthly bulk week.
City cost & eligibility
No per-piece furniture charge is published; furniture rides the residential contract billed at $25.00 per month plus $2.06 sales tax, and only a pile over the six cubic yard limit needs a priced special pickup. Confirm the load on 972-771-7736.
When & how
Put the piece at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the household's bulk week.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the six cubic yard pile, take loose cushions and drawers out where you can, and cut carpet or rugs and roll them so the load stays manageable. Furniture goes to the front even at an alley home, and nothing may sit under trees or wires, in the street or on top of the water meter.
No Rockwall page names a mattress, so the piece has to be confirmed as bulk before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The city's bulk list names stoves, water tanks, washing machines and furniture but no mattress, and no mattress charge is published, so confirm whether a mattress or box spring is accepted on the bulk week with Utility Billing on 972-771-7736 before it goes out.
When & how
Confirm first, then put the piece at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the household's bulk week if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and inside the six cubic yard pile, and take the frame and headboard off because they are separate pieces. Do not put a mattress in either cart, and do not leave it out after the bulk week has passed.
Stoves, water tanks and washing machines are named on the city's bulk list, and a refrigerator or freezer is only collected once the Freon has been removed and tagged.
City cost & eligibility
No per-appliance charge is published; the named appliances ride the bulk week under the $25.00 monthly contract rate plus $2.06 sales tax. A technician's charge for removing Freon from a cooling appliance is separate and is not published by the city.
When & how
Put the appliance at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the household's bulk week.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep appliances out of both carts. For a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner, have a certified technician remove the refrigerant and tag the appliance first, because the city will only collect a tagged unit. Ask about an appliance that is not on the named list, such as a dishwasher or dryer, before setting it out.
A cooling appliance is collected only after the Freon has been removed and the unit tagged by a certified technician.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no collection charge for a tagged cooling appliance, and the technician's charge for removing the refrigerant is not published either, so arrange the tag first and confirm the unit with Utility Billing on 972-771-7736.
When & how
Have the appliance tagged, then set it at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the household's bulk week.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, secure the doors, and do not put it out until the technician has removed the refrigerant and attached the tag, because an untagged unit will not be collected.
Electronics never go in a cart, many items can be booked through the city's hazardous waste partner, televisions appear on the older bulk list, and the city also points at the state recycling programs.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics charge is published. The city's hazardous waste page directs residents to schedule pickups through HHW Solutions on 972-440-2040, and the city's 2026 rate table lists a household hazardous waste line of $1.14 without saying what it covers, so confirm which route takes the device and whether any charge applies.
When & how
Electronics can be requested for a Wednesday pickup through HHW Solutions, with the request placed by Monday night, or put out with the bulk pile where an older city list names televisions with furniture.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers and drives before handover, keep electronics out of both carts, and separate removable batteries so they can be handled as hazardous material. Confirm the device with Utility Billing or HHW Solutions before it goes out.
Construction material is refused by the contractor, so boards, rock, excavation dirt, scrap building material and remodeling debris never go to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
Republic Services will not pick up construction material, rock, excavation dirt, scrap building material, tires or other waste from construction or major remodeling, and no city construction drop-off is published, so a project load is arranged privately with a hauler or container company.
When & how
Arrange the removal before the work produces debris, because the material cannot go out with either the weekly carts or the bulk week.
Get it ready
Keep rock, dirt, scrap building material, tires, railroad ties and demolition debris out of the carts and off the curb. Fencing is limited to pieces no larger than six by three by three feet, and a fence post with concrete attached is refused.
No Rockwall page names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed against the bulk list before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The bulk list names stoves, water tanks, washing machines and furniture but no exercise machine, and no charge is published, so confirm the machine with Utility Billing on 972-771-7736 before it joins the bulk pile.
When & how
Confirm the machine, then put it at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the household's bulk week.
Get it ready
Take the console and loose weights off so the frame is manageable, keep the whole machine inside the six cubic yard pile, and keep it clear of trees, wires, the street and the water meter. Keep any battery out of the carts.
Rockwall moved to a single weekly collection day on January 12, 2026, with a city-provided trash cart and recycling cart per household. Carts go out by 7 a.m. and never before 6 p.m. the night before, must sit three feet clear of anything else for the automated arm, and everything has to fit inside them because nothing beside or on top of a cart is collected.
Brush and bulk are collected Monday through Friday of the household's bulk week, twice a month, and everything has to be at the front curb by 7 a.m. on the Monday, even at a home with an alley. The pile cannot exceed six cubic yards, which is nine feet long, six feet high and three feet wide, and anything larger has to be scheduled as a special pickup on 972-422-2341.
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.

Will Rockwall take a mattress as bulk?+
