Baytown provides bulk item pickup through Republic Services by appointment. Large items like furniture, appliances, and mattresses must be scheduled in advance. The city also operates or partners with drop-off facilities for items not accepted in curbside collection. Construction debris, hazardous waste, and electronics require special disposal.
Baytown residents can schedule bulk item pickup through Republic Services for large items that do not fit in the standard 96-gallon cart. Acceptable bulk items include furniture, mattresses, large appliances (with doors removed), and oversized household items. Appointments are typically available within one to two weeks of request. Items must be placed at the curb on the scheduled pickup date. Construction and demolition debris is not accepted through residential collection and must be taken to an approved landfill or transfer station. Hazardous waste including paints, chemicals, batteries, and motor oil requires disposal at designated facilities. Harris County Precinct 2 periodically hosts household hazardous waste collection events. Electronics and e-waste may be accepted at special collection events. Baytown residents can also use the Republic Services drop-off location for certain materials. Illegal dumping of bulk items, construction debris, or hazardous materials is a criminal offense in Texas. Contact Republic Services at the number on your utility bill to schedule bulk pickup or the city Solid Waste Division for disposal guidance.
Placing bulk items at the curb without scheduling pickup is a code violation. Construction debris left at the curb will not be collected and may result in enforcement action. Illegal dumping is a criminal offense under Texas Health and Safety Code with fines up to $2,000 for first offense and up to $10,000 for commercial quantities. Repeat illegal dumping is a Class A misdemeanor.
