Summary
Rockwall puts heavy bulky waste on the owner, not the trash truck: brick, lumber, concrete, and remodeling debris must be hauled off separately.
Heavy accumulations of brick, concrete, lumber, cinders, automobile frames, rock, excavation dirt, scrap building material, construction or remodeling materials, large dead animals, industrial wastes or byproducts and other bulky materials shall be disposed of by the owner or the person in charge.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 25 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
Under Sec. 34-3, owners or the person in charge of a property must dispose of heavy accumulations of brick, concrete, lumber, cinders, automobile frames, rock, excavation dirt, scrap building material, construction or remodeling materials, large dead animals, industrial wastes and other bulky materials themselves. The city's standard garbage cart service under Sec. 34-2 is capped at 18-35 gallon containers, so this bulky-material category falls outside normal weekly collection and the owner arranges separate disposal or hauling.
Violations & Fines
Owner or person in charge is responsible; failure to clear bulky accumulations can be pursued as a nuisance/code violation under the solid waste chapter's general penalty provisions.
