The county Solid Waste Division offers brush and bulk disposal information for unincorporated program customers, and residents can haul large items to an approved solid-waste site. Never dump bulk waste on the roadside — that's illegal dumping under state law.
Cameron County's Solid Waste Division publishes brush and bulk-pickup information for its unincorporated residential customers alongside regular cart collection. Bulky items that don't fit the 96-gallon cart typically require scheduled brush/bulk service or a trip to an approved disposal or transfer facility. What you cannot do is leave furniture, appliances, tires, or construction debris on a right-of-way or vacant lot — Health & Safety Code Chapter 365 makes that illegal dumping, carrying escalating criminal penalties by weight. City residents use their municipality's bulk-collection program instead.
Roadside bulk dumping is prosecuted under Ch. 365 (Class C misdemeanor up to state jail felony by weight/volume) plus mandatory community service.
