Nueces County runs no bulk pickup outside cities; unincorporated residents haul large items to a permitted facility. Corpus Christi collects yard waste, heavy brush, clean wood waste, and bulky items on scheduled days, and they may be set out only on the designated set-out days for the address (§ 21-12).
Unincorporated Nueces County has no county bulky-waste program; residents transport large items to an approved landfill or transfer station, and unlawful dumping is prosecuted under state litter law. Corpus Christi provides scheduled bulk service under § 21-12: yard waste, heavy brush, clean wood waste, and bulky items (furniture, mattresses, carpet, appliances, large toys) are collected on a regular schedule and may be set out only on the days designated for each property address, with schedule details on the city website and call center.
Setting bulky items out on an unauthorized day in Corpus Christi is a code violation, though the code provides a limited defense for items set out shortly after an authorized period.
