Corpus Christi offers bulk item collection for large items. Residents can schedule bulk pickups through Solid Waste Operations. Accepted items include furniture, appliances, and mattresses. Hazardous waste, electronics, and tires require special disposal at designated facilities. The city also provides a landfill for residential drop-off of larger quantities.
Corpus Christi's bulk item disposal program allows residents to schedule pickup of large items that cannot fit in standard trash bins. Common eligible items include furniture, mattresses, appliances (with refrigerant properly removed), exercise equipment, and carpet. Most programs allow 3–5 bulk items per pickup, with pickups available monthly or by appointment. Items must be placed curbside on the scheduled day, not blocking sidewalks or driveways. Prohibited items typically include hazardous waste, tires, construction debris, auto parts, and electronics (which have separate recycling programs). Some cities provide 1–2 free bulk pickups per year with additional pickups at $25–$50 each. Items must not be placed out more than 24 hours before scheduled pickup.
Unauthorized dumping of bulk items: $250–$1,000 fine. Items placed out too early: $50–$100 fine. Prohibited items left curbside: $100–$300 fine plus cleanup costs.
