Free Landfill Disposal Day helps residents get a jump start on spring cleaning If you are looking to dispose of brush, furniture, old appliances and other bulky items, then make plans to stop by one of four convenient locations on Saturday, February 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to dispose of these items for free. Landfill Disposal Day is an opportunity for residents who may not be scheduled for City brush collection service in the near future to get rid of lumber, remodeling debris, furniture, appliances, mattresses, brush, passenger car tires (limit 6), and other junk at no cost. This event is offered at the following drop-off locations:
Landfill Disposal Days are available at
no charge to San Antonio residential solid waste rate paying customers
who pay the fee through their monthly CPS Energy utility bills. A copy
of a recent CPS Energy bill and photo identification will be required
at the event as proof of residency, and to obtain “free” disposal.
Residents are asked to cover their items with a tarp prior to
transporting to the site to avoid a potential “no tarp” fine in
accordance with City Ordinance. Residents are also encouraged to
donate any useable household items to their favorite charity rather
than throwing them away.
The Bitters Brush Recycling Center, located at 1800 Old Bitters Road
behind the Blossom Athletic Center, will also be open from 8:00 a.m.
until 5:00 p.m. to accept only clean brush and tree limbs; no other
items will be accepted.
No commercial/industrial waste or household hazardous waste will be
accepted at Free Landfill Disposal Day. Contractors and commercial
vehicles will not be allowed to participate in the free program but
will be allowed to pay the normal landfill gate fee to dispose of
their items on this day.
Residents who need to dispose of household hazardous wastes such as
batteries, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil and paint can take
them to the City’s Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Center at 7030
Culebra Road from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The center is also open
Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Fridays from 7:00 a.m. until
4:00 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00
p.m.
Free Landfill Disposal Day is another measure the City takes to
eliminate brush and bulky items placed on residential streets outside
of the normal brush collection schedule. Equally important, offering
disposal alternatives keeps these items off of City streets, decreases
the number of illegal dumpsites, improves the aesthetics of local
neighborhoods and protects public health, safety and welfare.
