Full Breakdown
Cedar Hill's bulk and brush program collects oversized household items (furniture, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant tags removed) and yard waste (limbs cut to manageable lengths, bagged leaves) on a monthly schedule that varies by area. Items must be set out at the curb the evening before the scheduled bulk day and not blocking storm drains, sidewalks, or fire hydrants. Total volume per address is typically capped, often around 6 cubic yards. Excluded items include household hazardous waste, automotive fluids, paints, batteries, tires, propane tanks, and construction or remodeling debris generated by paid contractors (which the contractor must haul). Dallas County HHW events provide drop-off for hazardous materials Cedar Hill does not collect curbside.
