More about this rule

The rule in plain language

Austin moved bulk collection into an on-demand program that lets eligible customers choose collection dates. Customers must schedule first and follow set-out, size, placement, and accepted-item requirements.

Common follow-up questions

What should I do first?

Check eligibility, accepted items, remaining annual collections, and available dates, then schedule before setting anything at the curb.

What can change the answer?

Customer eligibility, item type and size, annual limits, scheduled date, placement, and illegal-dumping rules affect collection.

What to keep in mind

Do not place large items out merely because a neighbor has done so. Unscheduled piles, construction debris, hazardous material, and items handled by another program may not be collected.
