Tree Limb, bulky Item, and Household Hazardous Waste Collection
Collection Information
Collection details are listed below. Designated information can be found under Schedule Search. Appointments may be made by calling the Solid Waste office at (361) 485-3220 or by scheduling online. If you schedule online and approve charges for a large item or tree limb collection, you will receive a phone call letting you know when to place your items at the curb.
Per the City Code, tree limbs or bulky items may not be placed at the curb longer than 48 hours before collection trucks are in your scheduled service area. If items are left at the curb longer than 48 hours, your items may be tagged and your address turned over to Code Enforcement, who will then open a case for your address. Please call the Solid Waste division before you place your items on the curb to be collected.
