Local rules that apply to junk and household clutter

How pickup works in San Antonio

San Antonio does not take bulky items by appointment. Each home gets two curbside brush and bulky collections a year on a fixed cycle, and a door hanger arrives 7 to 10 days before your week. The date on the hanger is the set-out day, and crews can take the rest of the week to reach your street. Between cycles you can pay for an out-of-cycle pickup, or take a load to one of the city's four bulky drop-off centers with your energy bill and photo ID.

Program: Curbside brush and bulky item collection twice a year per home, on a set cycle (no appointment).

Schedule: Twice a year, roughly six months apart. The city leaves a door hanger 7 to 10 days before your collection week. The date on the hanger is when to set the pile out, not the pickup day, and crews can take up to a week to finish.

Setting items out: Have the pile out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week, within 8 feet of the curb and in front of the house (even if your garbage is collected in the alley). Keep it clear of parked cars, low limbs and water meters, and never on a vacant lot.

Limits: Up to 8 cubic yards per pile. Brush and bulky items are collected separately, so do not mix them.

Phone: 311 or 210-207-6000

Population: about 1,548,422 (Census 2025 estimate)
