Lubbock offers on-call bulky item pickup for large items like furniture and appliances with scheduled collection. Residents may also self-haul to the city landfill. Construction debris is excluded from residential service.
Lubbock Solid Waste provides scheduled bulk pickup for items too large for the cart, including furniture, mattresses, appliances, and small quantities of yard waste. Residents call 311 or schedule online to request pickup. Freon-containing appliances (refrigerators, AC units) must have refrigerant-recovery certification tagged by a licensed technician before collection. Tires, batteries, motor oil, paint, and construction/demolition debris are NOT accepted in residential bulk service. The Lubbock Landfill at 100th Street and FM 1729 accepts self-hauled waste with tipping fees by weight. The Citizens Convenience Station accepts household hazardous waste, electronics, and recyclables.
Placing prohibited items (tires, hazardous waste, C and D debris) for bulk pickup is a Chapter 18 violation with fines up to $500.
