Brush & Bulky-Item Collections

Brush and bulky-item collection is provided to all residential waste-paying customers of the City of San Antonio. Check your CPS Energy bill. If it lists an Environmental Services Fee and a Brush Service Fee, you are a customer of the City, and you are eligible to receive brush collection as well as other solid waste services provided by the City's Solid Waste Management Department.

New Changes for 2011

Effective 2011, brush will be collected separately from bulky items. Brush-only collections will be provided two times a year, every six months. Bulky-item-only collection will be provided one time per year, same month every year. The City is making changes to help keep neighborhoods clean, reduce waste, and increase recycling.

Brush & Bulky-Item Collection Guidelines

• Brush & Bulky items must be placed within eight (8) feet of the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on the first day of your scheduled collection week.
• Do not place brush or bulky-item piles in front of parked cars, near fences, trees, mailboxes, beneath overhead wires, low hanging tree limbs or on top of water meters.
• Crews will pass by your house once. Materials placed out after crews have passed are a violation and subject to fines up to $2000 a day. If you miss your scheduled collection, call 3-1-1 as soon as possible to find other disposal options.
