Curbside Garbage and Recycling

  • Garbage is collected weekly. Recycling is collected every other week.
  • Place carts at the curb before 7 a.m. on your pickup day.

Note: The garbage cart and items outside your cart may be picked up at different times on your collection day. In many areas, an automated side loader (ASL) truck empties the cart, and a separate rear-load truck picks up items outside of it. Both services will be completed by 6:30 p.m. on your collection day.

Bulk Trash Pickup

Now you can Spring Clean any time of the year!

Starting January 2025, you can choose when “spring clean-up” is convenient for you!

How it works:
  • In-City residents (water bill comes directly from the CORR) can schedule one free bulk pickup per year.
  • Call Republic Services at 512-255-4980 one week before your regular collection day to schedule your annual bulk pickup.
  • Place acceptable bulk items neatly at the curb by 7 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day.
