On Wednesday, November 18, 2020, the City of Laredo Solid Waste Department will be conducting a free Brush & Bulky Item Collection service throughout District 2. All unwanted accumulations should be placed out for pickup no later than 7:00 a.m.
Customers must place all bulky items at least 10 feet away from any large objects, such as parked cars, mailboxes, telephone connection boxes, water meters, fences, walls, overhead power lines, overhanging trees, etc. Bulky items must be accessible from the street and placed within the right-of-way. Materials will not be collected from within private property.

Some of the acceptable bulky items include: furniture, mattresses, box springs, carpets, swing sets, plastic swimming pools, large toys, bicycles, fish aquariums, and large household appliances. Items that are NOT allowed for this service include: electronic waste, including, but not limited to, televisions, monitors, and computer equipment; batteries, car parts, and items with internal combustion engines; items with a title, such as a car or boat; paints, solvents, motor oil, or any other liquid; rocks, concrete, asphalt, gravel, or dirt; any other wastes considered to be hazardous or universal waste, such as chemicals, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, mercury-containing devices, and similar items.
