What is SMALL Bulky Waste?

SMALL BULKY WASTE: Small Bulky Waste items are not part of regular household trash and may include small appliances, small furniture, and other household furnishings or debris. The horizontal and vertical dimensions of a small Bulky Waste item may not exceed four (4) feet in any direction, and the item must weigh less than 50 pounds.

Bundles (Yard Waste): Bundles of tree, shrub and brush trimmings must be securely tied together forming an easily handled package not exceeding four feet in length, and 50 lbs. in weight. No tree trunks or limbs in excess of six inches in diameter. Grass clippings or other trash bags placed outside the polycart will not be picked up.

Don’t Bag It: Titan supports the Don’t Bag It™ initiative developed by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. With the exception of large woody brush, residents can recycle all their organic materials right in their own yards through composting, mulching and grasscycling. By recycling these materials, we’re not just saving our landfill space but also improving our home environment. Organic matter adds valuable nutrients back to the soil, improves the condition of our soils, helps insulate the soil from temperature extremes, and helps plants survive dry periods by holding moisture in our soils.

What is LARGE Bulky Waste?

LARGE BULKY WASTE:

Bulky Waste includes stoves, water tanks, appliances, furniture, and other household debris. Refrigerators/Freezers and window A/C units containing Freon must have the Freon removed by a certified technician and tagged with proper certification.

Customers who, for an additional fee, would like to dispose of Bulky Waste material in excess of 5 bags must call Titan to receive a quotation for collection of the larger quantity.
