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.
What the rules say about brush, limbs and yard waste: The city leaves a door hanger 7 to 10 days before your collection week. Keep it clear of parked cars, low limbs and water meters, and never on a vacant lot. Brush and bulky items are collected separately, so do not mix them.
