Free Landfill Disposal Day scheduled for February 5

Next Saturday, February 5, is Free Landfill Disposal Day for San Antonio residents from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Instead of waiting for your community's next bulky item collection service, residents can take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of extra bulky items they may have lying around.

The City's Solid Waste Management Department and the area landfills host this event. Participants must bring their most recent CPS Energy bill to show that they pay the City's residential solid waste fee along with a picture ID when dropping off items at one of the locations below.

Loads should be secured and covered in vehicles and trailers traveling to the landfill. Those individuals that do not cover their loads are in violation of City Ordinance #72272 Tarp-Law.

Residents are encouraged to make the pledge to recycle and separate out all items that can be reused. Items that can not be reused or recycled should be brought to Landfill Disposal Day. No contractor, commercial, industrial, or hazardous waste will be accepted at this event.

*Allied Waste Services Tessman Landfill, 7000 IH-10 East
