Junk removal in San Antonio

Twice a year, San Antonio picks up bulky items at your curb. Keep the pile to 8 cubic yards, within 8 feet of the curb in front of your house, even if your garbage goes out in the alley. Brush and bulky are separate collections with separate lists, and mixing them can mean a fine plus a charge for the cleanup. Furniture, large appliances and up to six tires without rims count as bulky. Concrete, glass and mirrors, roofing, soil and rocks, construction debris and household chemicals don't.

Between pickups, the city runs four bulky waste collection centers: Bitters, Frio City Road, Culebra and Rigsby Road. They're open Tuesday through Saturday, with Saturday ending at noon, and only for residential customers. Bring a recent CPS Energy bill and a photo ID. Nothing from a commercial hauler gets in, and each visit is capped at 4 cubic yards of bulky items and 1 cubic yard of construction debris.

A door hanger tells you when your turn comes. It shows up 7 to 10 days ahead of your collection week, and the date printed on it is the day to set your pile out, not the day the truck comes. Crews can take up to a week to work through a neighborhood.

Questions homeowners ask

How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo gives us a good read on how much there is, but a hauler who sees it in person will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is junk removal priced?
By how much of a truck your stuff fills — a few items cost far less than a full truckload. Heavy or special items like appliances and mattresses add a disposal fee.
Do you handle big or heavy items?
Most haulers do — appliances, furniture, mattresses, construction debris. Let us know in the quick questions so the ballpark includes the disposal fees.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
One shot that shows the whole pile, or the full room, gives the best read on how much there is.
