Full Breakdown

Every dwelling must carry commercial garbage service under § 57.020, but that weekly service doesn't include bulky items. Large trash goes to the city landfill instead: § 57.047(b) sets 2026 self-haul rates of $20 for a pickup-truck or two-wheel-trailer load (up to 3 cubic yards), $15 per mattress or box spring, and per-ton pricing for construction debris and appliances. Large and hand-held electronics go to the household hazardous waste drop-off site fee-free under § 57.049. Dumping bulky items on streets, alleys, or vacant lots instead of hauling them properly violates § 57.046.

Violations & Fines

Illegal dumping of bulky waste on streets, alleys, or private property violates § 57.046; general penalty under § 10.999 is up to a $500 fine and 30 days in jail per day of violation.
