Summary
Fulshear residents may set bulk items out next to their cart on Wednesday; oversized items receive a GFL yellow tag with arranged pickup instructions for the household.
When is heavy/large trash pick up? Large items that will not fit into the provided carts, once broken down, should be placed beside them for pick up every Wednesday. If the items are too large, GFL will flag them with a yellow tag, providing information on special collection pricing/pick up. Special collections for large items can be scheduled with GFL at anytime, a yellow tag is not required. Why a 95 gal cart? Please use only the 95 gallon cart provided to you, as your garbage will be serviced by an automated truck. When you received your cart, there was a specification sheet taped to the inside lid with instructions for cart use. If you need an additional cart, they are available for a one-time charge of $95.00. If the item does not fit in the cart, place the item outside the cart on the day of pickup. If the item cannot be picked up upon regular garbage service, the item will be issued a yellow tag with instructions on arrangements that can be made directly between you and GFL.
Full Breakdown
Fulshear's franchise contract with GFL allows residents to place bulk items, such as furniture, mattresses, appliances, and rolled carpet up to one room at four feet wide and 40 pounds, beside their cart on regular Wednesday collection day. If an item is too large or otherwise cannot be collected with the routine route, GFL leaves a yellow tag explaining the resident must contact GFL directly to arrange a special pickup. Construction debris, tires, hazardous waste, and household chemicals are not part of bulk service.
Violations & Fines
Setting out prohibited materials, repeatedly oversizing items, or leaving items in the right-of-way after a yellow-tag refusal can result in code enforcement nuisance citations.
