San Angelo, TX Trash & Recycling: Dumpster Rules (2026)

Sec. 061(a) makes the permit mandatory: no person may commercially empty solid waste or recyclable containers, or convey or transport their contents on the city's streets, alleys or public thoroughfares for hire, without first getting a written permit from the solid waste administrator or entering a special contract with the city. Sec. 061(b) requires the applicant to identify the trade name, the number and class of vehicles it will run, the nature of the service, and its experience, so the administrator can judge whether public convenience and necessity support granting the permit and whether the applicant is fit to run the business.

Sec. 061(c) conditions the permit on the hauler carrying public liability insurance and filing a certificate with the city's risk management department; letting that policy lapse automatically revokes the permit. Permits run one year, are nontransferable, and can be revoked by the city council after ten days' notice and a hearing under Sec. 061(d); a denial or revocation can be appealed in writing to the city manager within five business days under Sec. 061(e), with a decision due within five business days and no stay while the appeal is pending.

Sec. 062 requires every hauling truck to have a fully covered bed and limits dumping to landfills or dumps the city designates. Appendix A's fee schedule sets roll-off haul rates and separate delivery, relocation, "dry run" and daily-rental charges by container size, 15, 20, 30 and 40 cubic yards, plus compactor rates, all rising on a published multi-year schedule through July 2032.
