Full Breakdown

Bellaire provides bulk item collection for residential properties on a scheduled basis. Residents must contact Public Works at (713) 662-8160 to schedule a pickup. Accepted bulk items include furniture, mattresses, large appliances (doors removed from refrigerators), carpet rolls, and similar household items. Items must be placed at the curb on the scheduled pickup day, not before. Construction debris, remodeling waste, hazardous materials, paint, tires, batteries, and electronics are not accepted in bulk pickup and must be disposed of through other means. Harris County offers periodic household hazardous waste collection events. Large quantities of yard waste from tree removal or major landscaping projects may require separate arrangements. Bulk items left at the curb outside the scheduled pickup create code enforcement issues. The city does not accept bulk items mixed with regular weekly trash. Bellaire's property maintenance standards require prompt removal of items from the curb if pickup is delayed.

Violations & Fines

Placing bulk items at the curb without scheduling pickup may result in code enforcement citations. Items left at the curb for extended periods are a property maintenance violation. Prohibited items placed for collection will not be picked up and must be removed by the homeowner.
