Yard debris removal prices in Schertz
First item / additional item
Contractor bag$69 / $20
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.
Brush from tree, shrub and lawn trimmings is collected on the every other week brush and bulk day when limbs are cut, tied and bundled inside the published limits.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Schertz residential solid waste collection, which publishes no separate charge for the routine brush and bulk week and caps each set-out at 3 cubic yards; a household above that limit either waits for the next assigned week or pays the fee set by the Unusual Accumulation route.
When & how
Place the bundled brush at the kerb next to the garbage and recycling carts on the regular trash day of the assigned brush and bulk week.
Get it ready
Limbs must be no longer than 4 feet and no thicker than 4 inches, larger limbs have to be split or cut down to limit their weight, and bundles must be tied with string or twine. Green waste counts as brush, but yard waste is named among the non-recyclables, so it belongs in the brush and bulk set-out rather than the recycling cart.
Garbage and recycling go in the carts only, because the city will not collect an extra bag set on top of the cart. Recycling must be dry, loose, un-shredded and empty, with the acceptable list running from aluminium cans and newspaper through PET and HDPE bottles, steel and tin cans, uncoated paperboard, corrugated cardboard, glass food and beverage containers and cartons. Non-recyclables include plastic bags and bagged material, Styrofoam, ceramics, light bulbs, mirrors, coated cardboard, soiled paper, cookware, appliances and electronics, wires, film packaging, yard waste, construction debris, wood, medical supplies, food waste, textiles, small paper fragments, propane tanks and batteries. Recycling and brush or bulk collection alternate every other week on the regular trash day, and the city map or annual calendar shows whether the address is on Week A or Week B.
Everything placed at the kerb is treated as a bulk item, so nothing unwanted should go there, and items have to be stacked in a way that workers can reasonably and safely lift into the vehicle. Brush and limbs are tied with string or twine in bundles, kept under 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter, with larger limbs split or cut down, and the whole set-out is capped at 3 cubic yards. Appliances containing refrigerant are refused unless the unit is tagged certifying that a certified refrigerant technician removed the refrigerant. Scheduling is no longer required, because the brush and bulk collection runs on the assigned alternating week.
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.
City of Schertz residential solid waste collection
Use the assigned brush and bulk week
A Schertz household with tied brush, limbs and bulk items that will not fit the carts and that come to no more than 3 cubic yards.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Schertz residential collection, which publishes no separate charge for the routine brush and bulk week and caps each set-out at 3 cubic yards.
Arrange it
Check the city map or the annual pick-up calendar for the Week A or Week B assignment, then place the prepared material at the kerb next to the garbage and recycling carts on the regular trash day of that week.
3 cubic yards per set-out, limbs under 4 feet and 4 inches and tied in bundles, everything stacked for a safe lift, refrigerant appliances refused without a certified tag, and no materials that should not leave the property because anything at the kerb is treated as a bulk item.
Schertz collects household material at the kerb through the carts and the alternating brush and bulk week, and the city solid waste page lists no public drop-off or transfer station, so call the city about a load the bulk week will not take. Garbage and recycling go in the carts, with nothing set on top, and recycling has to be dry, loose, un-shredded and empty. Brush and bulk items go to the kerb on the assigned Week A or Week B collection day, tied and bundled, with limbs under 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter, the pile capped at 3 cubic yards and stacked so the crew can lift it safely, and refrigerant appliances refused unless they carry a certified technician's tag. A household above the 3 cubic yard limit either waits for the next assigned week or files the Unusual Accumulation Waste Collection Form, where fees apply based on the amount and the time required. Construction debris and wood are named among the non-recyclables, so a project load has to be confirmed with the city rather than assumed to ride the brush and bulk truck, and additional carts can be requested for delivery within 24 to 72 hours at a monthly charge, which is a useful alternative to leaving extra bags out because they will not be collected.

Can you pick up a loose pile of branches or yard waste?+

Can I book regular paper yard bags?+
The online item for this service is a standard contractor bag. If your yard debris is in another kind of bag, send a photo so our team can confirm the right booking.
Can I arrange same-day pickup?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Checkout shows the available dates for your address. Your booking is for a pickup day, rather than an exact arrival window. We send updates and photos after collection.
Where should I put my items?+
Use an accessible outdoor spot you are allowed to use, and follow the instructions in your confirmation. Keep sidewalks, entrances and vehicle access clear. You arrange any indoor carrying. For a loading dock or a short building access window, confirm the setup with our team before booking.
What are the Schertz brush rules?+
Brush covers cuttings and trimmings from trees, shrubs and lawns, including green waste, and it goes out with the brush and bulk collection every other week on the regular trash day, tied with string or twine in bundles next to the garbage and recycling carts. Limbs cannot exceed 4 feet in length or 4 inches in diameter, and larger limbs must be split or cut into smaller lengths to limit their weight. The whole set-out is capped at 3 cubic yards, with everything stacked so workers can safely lift it.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and recycling in Schertz?+
The City of Schertz runs residential solid waste collection, with garbage on the regular trash day, recycling in the carts on an alternating every other week schedule, and brush and bulk collection riding the same alternating week on the same day. Garbage and recycling must be inside the carts because an extra bag set on top of the cart is not collected, and recycling has to be dry, loose, un-shredded and empty. Households follow the city's interactive map or the annual Week A and Week B calendar to know which week applies to the address.Official guidance
How much brush and bulk waste can a Schertz home set out?+
Three cubic yards, placed at the kerb next to the garbage and recycling carts on the assigned Week A or Week B collection day, with no scheduling needed. Brush and limbs have to be tied with string or twine in bundles, no longer than 4 feet and no thicker than 4 inches, and larger limbs must be split or cut down to limit their weight. Everything at the kerb counts as a bulk item, so nothing unwanted should be set out, and appliances holding refrigerant need a certified tag before they will be collected.Official guidance
Can a Schertz household get another cart?+
Yes. Additional cart requests can be submitted through the city's utility billing form centre and delivered within 24 to 72 hours, with an extra garbage cart costing 9.25 per month and an extra recycling cart costing 5.00 per month. Extra capacity in a cart matters because garbage and recycling have to be inside the carts: the city states that an extra bag placed on top of the cart will not be collected, and yard waste, construction debris and wood are on the non-recyclable list rather than the recycling cart's list.Official guidance
