When the City Won’t Take Your Bulk Trash

City bulk pickup is a great option for getting rid of unwanted household items, but not everything left at the curb will be accepted. Oversized, extremely heavy, construction-related, or difficult-to-handle items may be left behind by your local waste collection service.

Common examples include large granite countertops, concrete and bricks, heavy furniture, remodeling debris, oversized items, and unusually large piles of junk. When an item can't be collected, the city or its waste provider will often leave a notice or tag explaining why it was rejected. For example, the McKinney pickup pictured below was left with a notice identifying the material as “No Stone/Masonry.” Other items may be rejected because they're too heavy, oversized, improperly prepared, or otherwise outside the city's bulk collection rules.

Here is an example of a bulk pickup notice saying that they couldn't take the items because of the size & material.
