Round Rock residents whose water bill comes directly from the City, who may schedule one free bulk pickup per calendar year.

City collection Non refrigerant appliances go out on the annual bulk pickup or to the city recycling center, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is refused on both and takes an outside route. A non Freon appliance is taken either on the free annual bulk pickup or at the Deepwood Recycling Center, which publishes no fee for the drop-off, and a Freon unit is refused by both, with the city pointing to the Hutto Recycling Center or a junk removal service. Confirm the route and any charge for the exact unit before it leaves the house.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Round Rock collects garbage every week and recycling every other week on the same account, and it also runs two drop-off sites on the same street for the material the carts will not take. The weekly allowance is bigger than a single cart: the cart plus up to seven additional items, provided each item stays under the published weight and size limits, which is why bundled brush, bagged leaves and a couple of small pieces usually go out with the regular truck rather than waiting for anything else. For a genuine load, an in-city household schedules one free bulk pickup each calendar year, any time it likes since the old spring cleanup week was retired in January 2025, and the hauler takes up to five cubic yards that includes furniture, mattresses, scrap metal, trimmed lumber and non Freon appliances. Refrigerant appliances, televisions, tires, paint and construction material are refused on both the weekly route and the bulk pickup. The Deepwood Recycling Center at 310 Deepwood Drive is the city drop-off for the rest of it, taking glass, Styrofoam, non Freon appliances, automotive fluids, batteries and household hazardous waste, and the brush yard beside it takes tree and shrub trimmings free from residents who pay city taxes. Televisions are the one common item with no city route at all, so the city points those to outside electronics programs instead.
Garbage is collected every week and recycling every other week, and the weekly allowance is the cart plus up to seven additional items.
City cost & eligibility
$24.69 for the published monthly residential charge for garbage and recycling effective November 1, 2025, billed with water, wastewater and storm water through the City utility billing office. Round Rock residential utility customers billed directly by the City. A household inside a municipal utility district receives its own district's terms, and the free annual bulk pickup belongs to the in-city account.
When & how
Garbage every week and recycling every other week on the same pickup day for the address, with the work finished by 6:30 p.m. or Republic Services contacted on 512-255-4980.
Get it ready
Put the carts out before 7 a.m., closed, three feet apart and with the wheels against the curb, and keep the recycling loose rather than bagged. Up to seven additional items may go out with the cart, and each one has to stay under the published weight and size limits, with bundled brush and bagged leaves included in that allowance.
An in-city household may schedule one free bulk pickup each calendar year, taking up to five cubic yards of the accepted material from the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Round Rock residents whose water bill comes directly from the City, who may schedule one free bulk pickup per calendar year. A household inside a municipal utility district is told to ask its district about cleanup events, and once the free pickup is used, further pickups in the same year can be added for a charge priced by size.
When & how
By arrangement with Republic Services on 512-255-4980, called in a week before the regular collection day, and the material goes out by 7 a.m. on the day that is set.
Get it ready
Keep the load to five cubic yards and to the accepted material, which is furniture, mattresses, scrap metal, non Freon appliances and lumber no longer than four feet with every nail, staple and brad removed. Refrigerant appliances, automotive products, brush and tree limbs, chemicals, paint, demolition and construction debris, tires and televisions are refused on this route.
Mattresses are named in the accepted list for the annual bulk pickup and count inside the five cubic yard allowance.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Round Rock households scheduling their free annual bulk pickup on an in-city water account. The free allowance covers one pickup of up to five cubic yards per calendar year, and a further pickup in the same year is priced by size.
When & how
On the bulk pickup day Republic Services sets after the call on 512-255-4980, rather than on the regular weekly collection.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and place it neatly at the curb with the rest of the load by 7 a.m. on the pickup day. A household that would rather not wait for a bulk date can cut the mattress down as the city's own guidance describes, take it to the county landfill, or use a junk removal service, all of which the City's recycling center names.
Non refrigerant appliances go out on the annual bulk pickup or to the city recycling center, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is refused on both and takes an outside route.
City cost & eligibility
A non Freon appliance is taken either on the free annual bulk pickup or at the Deepwood Recycling Center, which publishes no fee for the drop-off, and a Freon unit is refused by both, with the city pointing to the Hutto Recycling Center or a junk removal service. Confirm the route and any charge for the exact unit before it leaves the house.
When & how
On the scheduled bulk pickup day, or during the recycling center's opening hours from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it goes out and keep a refrigerant unit out of both city routes entirely. The recycling center accepts hot water heaters, microwaves, stoves, washers, dryers and dishwashers, and refuses water softeners along with anything that held refrigerant.
Televisions are refused in the weekly collection, on the bulk pickup and at the city recycling center, so the city directs them to outside electronics programs.
City cost & eligibility
No city route takes a television: the weekly collection lists electronic devices as refused, the bulk pickup refuses televisions, and the recycling center refuses them too. The city names outside routes including Goodwill, Texas Recycles Computers, the EPA electronics resources and junk removal services, so confirm the acceptance and any charge with the receiving program.
When & how
By arrangement with the receiving program the city names, rather than on any city collection day.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device changes hands and keep it out of the carts, the bulk pickup and the recycling center drop-off. Small rechargeable batteries and fluorescent bulbs are a different case and are accepted at the recycling center, while alkaline batteries are refused there.
Construction and demolition material is refused in the weekly collection, on the annual bulk pickup and at the brush drop-off, so a project load is arranged privately.
City cost & eligibility
Round Rock publishes no construction collection at all: the weekly collection refuses construction debris, concrete, dirt, rock, stone and masonry, the bulk pickup refuses demolition and construction debris, and the brush drop-off refuses demolition debris, rock and concrete. A project load goes to a private hauler or container, and the city names the county landfill for dirt, backfill and lumber.
When & how
By arrangement with a private hauler or container service, before the work starts.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material out of the carts, off the bulk pickup and away from the brush drop-off, because all three refuse it. Trimmed lumber is the narrow exception and may go on the bulk pickup when it is no longer than four feet and every nail, staple and brad has been removed.
Exercise equipment is not named on any city page, so whether a machine is taken depends on the bulk pickup allowance rather than on a published rule.
City cost & eligibility
No city page names exercise equipment, and a machine usually exceeds the weekly limits of 40 pounds and four feet by four feet by four feet, so confirm with Republic Services on 512-255-4980 whether it may go out on the free annual bulk pickup within the five cubic yard allowance. The bulk pickup accepts furniture, which does not by itself cover a treadmill or a weight machine.
When & how
On the bulk pickup day if Republic Services confirms the machine on 512-255-4980, rather than with the weekly collection.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart and weigh the heaviest piece before arranging anything. Keep it out of the recycling cart, and describe the machine and its weight when the pickup is booked so the hauler can decide whether it fits the load.
Bundled brush and bagged leaves may go out with the weekly collection inside the seven item allowance, and the city runs a brush drop-off for larger amounts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A resident inside the full purpose Round Rock city limits who pays city taxes, and not only school district taxes, may drop up to two cubic yards of brush free at the Brush Recycling Center, with bagged leaves and grass accepted separately for residents. Larger loads are priced by size and paid by cash or check only, and material inside the weekly allowance rides the regular collection at no separate charge.
When & how
The brush drop-off is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and the weekly allowance goes out with the regular garbage and recycling day.
Get it ready
Bundle brush or contain it in the cart with the lid closed for the weekly collection, where it counts toward the seven item allowance, and bring a current City water bill and a valid driver's licence to the drop-off. Landscape waste, palm trees, cacti, stumps, treated wood such as old poles or ties, demolition debris, rock, concrete, hazardous waste and household garbage are refused there.
Garbage runs weekly and recycling every other week, and the carts go to the curb before 7 a.m. on the pickup day, closed, three feet apart and with the wheels against the curb. The cart and the items outside it may be emptied by different trucks, so both finishes by 6:30 p.m., and a household that has not been collected by then contacts Republic Services on 512-255-4980.
The weekly allowance is the cart plus up to seven additional items, which can include bundled brush, bagged leaves and grass clippings. Every item has to stay under the published weight and size limits, and anything larger needs Republic Services on 512-255-4980, which is why a bulky item usually waits for the annual pickup rather than going out with the regular truck.
One free bulk pickup a year, up to five cubic yards
Since January 2025 there is no spring cleanup week, and an in-city household may schedule one free bulk pickup in any calendar year by calling Republic Services on 512-255-4980 a week before its regular collection day. The load goes out by 7 a.m. on the day set and tops out at five cubic yards, with furniture, mattresses, scrap metal, trimmed lumber and non refrigerant appliances accepted, and refrigerant appliances, televisions, tires, paint, chemicals, brush and construction material refused.
The hauler closes on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. When one of those falls on a weekday there is no collection that day and the rest of the week slides one day later, so a Thursday route runs Friday and a Friday route runs Saturday. Collection continues as normal on every other holiday, including Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day.
Appliances, every kind of battery, compressed gases, concrete, construction debris, dirt and rock, electronic devices, hazardous chemicals, loose brush and yard debris, propane tanks, stone and masonry, tires and wood or lumber are refused in the weekly collection. Most of them have a second route at the city drop-off or an outside program, while construction material has no city route at all.
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.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How does the free bulk pickup work?+
An in-city household calls Republic Services on 512-255-4980 a week before its regular collection day and schedules one free bulk pickup for the calendar year, then places up to five cubic yards of accepted material neatly at the curb by 7 a.m. on the day set. The old spring cleanup week is gone, so the pickup can be used at any time of year, and a household in a municipal utility district asks its district instead.Official guidance
Where does a mattress go?+
On the annual bulk pickup, because mattresses are named in the accepted list for that route and count inside the five cubic yard allowance. The City's recycling center also points to cutting the mattress down, the county landfill, and junk removal services for anyone who does not want to wait for a bulk date.Official guidance
Where does a refrigerator go?+
Not on the bulk pickup and not to the city recycling center, because both refuse appliances that held refrigerant. The city names the Hutto Recycling Center and junk removal services for those units. An ordinary appliance such as a washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher or water heater goes either on the annual bulk pickup or to the recycling center.Official guidance
Where does a television go?+
To an outside electronics program, because Round Rock refuses televisions in the weekly collection, on the bulk pickup and at the city recycling center. The city names Goodwill, Texas Recycles Computers, the EPA electronics resources and junk removal services, so confirm what the program takes before you load the car.Official guidance
Who collects the trash in Round Rock?+
The City runs the program through its solid waste contractor Republic Services, which handles a bulk pickup booking on 512-255-4980, and the City's Utilities and Environmental Services department operates the drop-off sites and the household hazardous waste service and answers general questions on 512-218-5400. The utility billing office collects the monthly charge with the water bill.Official guidance
How do I find my pickup day?+
The City publishes a collection day lookup, and the household page also lists the pickup day by address. Garbage runs every week and recycling every other week, both on the carts out before 7 a.m. rule, and the hauler closes only on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.Official guidance
What does the service cost?+
Garbage and recycling appear as one line on the combined monthly utility bill, alongside water, wastewater and storm water, and the City publishes that line with the rest of its residential rates. Confirm the current amount on your own statement, because the figures are updated by rate year.Official guidance
What if I live in a municipal utility district?+
The free annual bulk pickup belongs to a household whose water bill comes directly from the City, so a resident inside a municipal utility district is asked to contact the district and ask whether any cleanup events are scheduled there. The rest of the city services, including the drop-off center, still apply.Official guidance
What do I need to bring for household hazardous waste?+
A driver's licence and either a recent City of Round Rock water bill or a voucher, and the load has to respect the monthly volume limit. Keep products in their original containers where possible, seal and label them, leave them out of bags, stand them in a box so a spill stays contained, and do not mix products together.Official guidance
