North Richland Hills, TX Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk trash pickup in North Richland Hills is handled by Republic Services under the city contract. Residents can set out bulk items on their regular trash day up to defined quantity and size limits (typically 4 cubic yards, or roughly the size of a small pickup bed). Common acceptable items include furniture (couches, chairs, mattresses, tables), carpet (cut into 4-foot sections and bundled), large household items, white goods (refrigerators, washers, dryers with refrigerant properly evacuated by a certified technician for Freon appliances), and bundled yard debris. Not accepted at curbside: tires (recycling at retailers under Texas Health and Safety Code 361.112), household hazardous waste (paint, solvents, pesticides, used oil, batteries), construction debris from contractor work (must be handled separately), medical waste, and concrete or brick. NRH participates in regional household hazardous waste events through Tarrant County and Environment Texas. Electronics recycling is handled at specific drop-off events. Construction debris from DIY projects in small quantities may be accepted bundled, but larger quantities require a dumpster rental. Tree limbs must be cut to 4-foot lengths, bundled with twine, and weigh under 40 pounds.
