Live Oak offers scheduled bulk waste pickup for large items like furniture and appliances. Residents must call to schedule, and items cannot exceed posted volume limits (typically 4 cubic yards).
The City of Live Oak through its contracted solid waste franchise provides bulk item collection for residential customers. Typical bulk items accepted include furniture, mattresses, large toys, small appliances, and bagged yard waste in volumes exceeding normal cart capacity. Pickup is by appointment through the hauler customer service line or through Live Oak Public Works. Residents should have items at the curb no earlier than 24 hours before the scheduled collection. Unacceptable materials include construction debris from remodeling projects, roofing shingles, concrete, tires, automotive batteries, household hazardous waste (paint, solvents, pesticides), and electronics; these require separate disposal at Bexar County or regional facilities. Appliances containing refrigerants (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners) typically require the refrigerant to be removed and certified by a licensed technician before collection. Limits on total volume per pickup apply, commonly around 4 cubic yards. Additional pickups beyond the included allowance may incur a fee. Residents using illegal dumping instead of the proper bulk program face code enforcement citations.
