When your organization requests this service, a garbage trailer or brush trailer will be stationed at a designated site on a designated Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

Seven Dial-A-Trailers are currently available per Saturday. In an effort to better serve more organizations, only one trailer per clean-up will be dispatched. Flexibility is required when scheduling a trailer, as desired dates may already be committed. Please consider three preferred Saturday dates when requesting a trailer. Organizations are limited to four Dial-A-Trailer events per fiscal year. Events may not be scheduled on consecutive Saturdays. Only requests within the San Antonio city limits can be served.

Participants can use Dial-A-Trailer events to dispose of the following items: appliances, furniture, tree limbs and shrubs, mattresses, tires, lumber, auto parts and water heaters. We recycle clean brush, metals and tires. Participants are encouraged to separate these materials.

The following materials will not be collected through Dial-A-Trailer events: liquids, chemicals, pesticides, oil, concrete, bricks, soil, sod, commercial and industrial wastes, and demolition/remodeling materials such as sheetrock, roofing shingles.

Dial-A-Trailers are to be used for items collected during neighborhood clean-ups only. The City will, at its discretion, determine the type of equipment assigned to each Dial-A-Trailer event.

Individual homeowners are encouraged to take advantage of the two brush and bulky item collections provided annually by the City. If you require curbside pickup between these collection cycles, the Solid Waste Management Department makes House Calls, an out-of-cycle collection service that is available at a fee based on the size of the load collected.
