Full Breakdown

Large items that do not fit in the standard residential trash cart are handled through bulk trash service under Keller solid waste contract with its franchise hauler. Bulk items typically include furniture, mattresses, box springs, carpet rolls, small appliances, and yard waste that exceeds normal cart volume. Depending on program design, bulk service may be scheduled through the hauler by phone or online request, offered on set monthly or quarterly bulk days for each collection zone, or available for an additional fee for on-call pickups.

Residents must place bulk items at the curb no earlier than the evening before the scheduled pickup, with loose items bundled, bagged, or boxed and tied when possible to prevent scatter in wind. Size and weight limits commonly restrict any single piece to roughly 4 to 6 feet long and under 50 to 75 pounds, with total volumes capped per household per pickup. Items not accepted in bulk curbside service include tires, batteries, liquid paint, oil, chemicals, and electronics, which must be taken to household hazardous waste events or specific recycling drop-off locations.

White goods with refrigerants such as refrigerators and air conditioners require refrigerant removal certification tags before pickup. Violations of placement or item rules may leave material at the curb and can result in code enforcement action under Keller property maintenance ordinances.
