How do I get rid of furniture in Central Texas?
Most cities offer a few free bulk pickups a year, often by appointment. Find your city in the table for limits and how to schedule.
What if my city won't take an item?
Construction debris, tires and hazardous waste are usually excluded. A private junk-removal company or a landfill drop-off can take most of these.
