Residents can request that brush be picked up at their home. This service is provided to Round Rock residents that live within the Round Rock city limits and pay City of Round Rock taxes. Residential curbside brush pick-up is contracted through Round Rock Refuse. Pick-up service is on Wednesdays. Requests deadline is 4 p.m. Tuesday.
The service charge is $25 for the first five minutes and $1 for each additional minute. The charge for this service is based on the length of time it takes to gather the material utilizing a brush truck with a grapple arm. The fee will appear on the resident’s City of Round Rock water utility bill.
Pick-up Requirements: Brush must be piled along the curb, with limbs no longer than 10 feet and not bundled. The brush should be unobstructed (not too close to another tree, fence, mailbox, vehicle, etc).
Service Requests: Requests can be made online or by calling the Round Rock Parks and Recreation Department at 512-218-5540.

Ice Storm Recovery Results
As of Sunday, March 19, the City of Round Rock and its contractors have completed two rounds of pickups in every neighborhood in the City limits. This effort resulted in over 437,000 cubic yards of brush being picked up from an estimated 20,000 homes in Round Rock.
Free mulch can still be picked up at the Brush Recycling Center at 310 Deep Wood Drive, but will need to be loaded by the resident due to staff’s focus on debris removal services.

Round Rock Ice Storm Recovery Dashboard
In an effort to help residents decide the best course of action, the City created an interactive dashboard to track the progress of cleanup efforts. If your neighborhood still shows that it is part of the “Future Group – Start Date TBD,” it is safe to assume your neighborhood may still be a few weeks out from being served.
