Full Breakdown
Under the county's 2011 solid waste and recycling fee schedule, adopted by Garland County Code § 54-49, Exhibit A, residential customers in the unincorporated area receive bulky waste collection at no charge twice a year, provided the load is unmixed. Large metal items and appliances placed for pickup this way cost nothing at all, so long as the load stays unmixed. If a household mixes materials, county crews will pick up only metal and large upholstered furniture from that load; other mixed debris is not covered.
00. 00 monthly flat rate for house-to-house collection under § 54-47. Rules and regulations for what qualifies as properly disposed solid waste, including bulky items, are set by the solid waste director and approved by the solid waste management committee and quorum court under § 54-33, and a copy is kept on file at the county judge's office and the county clerk's office for public review.
Violations & Fines
Bulky waste collected outside the twice-yearly free allowance triggers the $75.00 per-pickup charge rather than a fine. Dumping solid waste, including bulky items, outside the collection program is separately unlawful under § 54-39, and violating any provision of the solid waste collection article is a misdemeanor punishable under § 54-32, with each day of a continuing violation counted as a separate offense.
