Summary
Edinburg's once-per-week residential garbage service includes brush and bulk-item pickup at no extra charge, but branches must be bundled to size and set at the curb: construction debris isn't covered.
No brush or yard waste shall be placed inside the city-supplied containers for collection. All brush to be collected by the city shall be placed in the parkway behind the curbline at a location so that access to it is not obstructed by overhanging tree limbs, wires, or other obstacles, which would interfere with mechanical collection. Brush collected on regular trash and brush collections shall be bundled into four foot long bundles not exceeding 24 inches. Unbundled trees and brush shall be cut into lengths of six feet or shorter.
Full Breakdown
The city's Solid Waste Department folds brush and bulk-item pickup into the standard weekly residential collection charge covering 95- or 300-gallon carts. Brush can't go inside the city-supplied containers: it has to be bundled into four-foot lengths no more than 24 inches around, or cut into pieces six feet long or shorter, and set out in the parkway behind the curb, clear of tree limbs, wires, and other obstacles that would block the mechanical collection truck. Construction material and debris are excluded and require a separate special pickup. Homes in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction pay one and a quarter times the in-city rate and get no brush service at all.
Violations & Fines
Brush placed inside trash carts, left unbundled, oversized, or blocking mechanical pickup can simply be skipped; dumping brush or debris on streets, alleys, or private property instead draws a minimum $25 removal charge under Sec. 51.6.
