Georgetown, TX Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

The City of Georgetown provides four free curbside bulky-waste pickups per year per residential account through Texas Disposal Systems. Bulky waste covers materials that will not fit inside the cart, such as furniture, mattresses, toilets, washers, and dryers. Refrigerated appliances are accepted but incur an additional fee because of refrigerant-handling requirements. Pickups must be reserved in advance: residents call TDS at 512-930-1715 to schedule, and TDS will not collect bulky items without a prior reservation. As of a change effective Feb. 6, 2023, bulky-waste pickups are no longer collected on Saturdays but instead coincide with each property's regular trash collection day. Items must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and should not be set out more than 24 hours before pickup. Because bulky waste is a city service rather than a detailed ordinance, the exact accepted-item and fee details should be confirmed with TDS. Leaving bulky items at the curb without a scheduled pickup, or dumping them on a lot or right-of-way, falls under the nuisance prohibition in Sec. 8.20.080 and, for larger quantities, state illegal-dumping law.
