3
Bag Mattresses & Seal CFCs

Can I Put Bulk Trash Out on the Curb Today?

In virtually all US metropolitan areas, curbside bulk items may only be placed curbside after 6:00 PM the evening before your assigned collection day. Staging large couches, mattresses, or brush piles days in advance violates municipal public works codes and triggers HOA citations ranging from $50 to $250.

πŸ—“οΈ If Your Pickup is Tomorrow:

You may stage items curbside starting this evening (after 6:00 PM). Ensure at least 3 feet of clearance from parked cars and trash carts.

🚫 If Today is NOT Your Pickup Week:

Keep items stored in your garage, side yard, or driveway until your scheduled week, or utilize your city transfer station drop-off.

Can I put bulk trash out on the curb today?

You can only put bulk trash out today if today falls within your municipality's official staging windowβ€”typically starting after 6:00 PM the evening before your scheduled pickup day.

If you need immediate same-day disposal, check your local transfer station drop-off hours listed below.

How often does bulk trash pickup occur?

Bulk trash pickup frequency depends on your city's municipal contract. In Las Vegas (Republic Services), it occurs every other week (bi-weekly). In Dallas and Houston, it runs monthly. In Austin and San Antonio, curbside bulk collection happens twice a year. In Denver, Large Item Pickup (LIP) occurs every 8 weeks. Enter your address to verify your exact rotation.

Do mattresses have to be wrapped in plastic for bulk trash pickup?

Yes, in most major metropolitan areas (including Las Vegas, Denver, Austin, and Dallas), mattresses and box springs must be completely sealed in disposable plastic mattress bags before set-out to protect sanitation workers from dust, pests, and moisture.

How much bulk trash can I put out on the curb?

Standard residential volume limits typically range from 3 to 10 cubic yards depending on your city. In the Las Vegas Valley the limit is 3 cubic yards (~4ft x 4ft x 6ft). In Denver, Large Item Pickup permits up to 5 large household items. In Dallas and Phoenix, limits range from 10 to 20 cubic yards during designated collection weeks.

What happens if I put bulk trash out on the wrong day?

Placing bulk items curbside outside your designated set-out window (usually between 6:00 PM the evening before and 7:00 AM the morning of collection) frequently results in municipal code citations or HOA fines ranging from $50 to $250.
