Summary
Farmersville collects bulky items like stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, washing machines and furniture separately from regular polycart pickup under Section 59-27 of the Code of Ordinances. Refrigerators need their CFCs pulled by a certified technician first, and loose brush counted as bulky waste is capped at two cubic yards, cut into four-foot lengths weighing no more than 50 pounds each.
(a)Bulky waste includes stoves, refrigerators which must have the CFCs removed by a certified technician, water tanks, washing machines, furniture, up to two cubic yards of loose brush greater than four inches in diameter which must be cut in four-foot lengths and with weights no more than 50 lbs., and other waste materials other than construction debris, dead animals, hazardous waste or stable matter with weights or volumes greater than those allowed for bins or containers, as the case may be.
Full Breakdown
each. The section draws a clear line against what does not qualify: construction debris, dead animals, hazardous waste and stable matter are excluded from bulky waste pickup and must be handled separately. Section 59-29 backs this up directly for hazardous materials, barring infectious or hazardous waste from any polycart or curbside pickup point regardless of the property owner's consent, and requiring disposal in line with rules from the state Department of Health and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Construction waste gets its own separate standard: Section 59-28 puts the responsibility on the contractor and property owner to contain building materials and debris on a construction site, and to clean up any litter, dirt or mud tracked onto public or private property during construction, remodeling or landscaping.
Residential collection service, including bulky item pickup, runs through the city's contracted hauler under the once-per-week schedule set by Section 59-30(a)(2), and Section 59-30(b)(2) specifically withholds brush collection service from customers located outside the city limits, even those who otherwise receive utility-based refuse service.
Violations & Fines
Bulky items that exceed the size, weight or volume limits in Section 59-27, or hazardous materials mixed in with bulky waste in violation of Section 59-29, are sanitation violations. Under the enhanced penalty class in Section 1-3(a)(1) for public health and sanitation offenses, including dumping of refuse, a violation can be fined up to $2,000.00, with Section 1-4 counting each day the material sits out improperly as a separate offense.
