Waste, and how we choose to handle it, greatly affects our environment, our quality of life, and our country’s future. We offer a variety of services to help residents Put Waste in its Place.
Curbside Garbage and Recycling
Garbage is collected once per week and recycling every other week on the same day between 7 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. If services are not performed by 6:30 p.m., please contact Central Texas Refuse.
Please note the brown cart and items outside of your cart may be picked up at different times on your collection day. In many areas, an automated side loader (ASL) truck empties the brown cart and a separate rear-load truck picks up items outside of the cart between 7 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. the same day. Both services will be completed by 6:30 p.m. on your collection day. If after 6:30 p.m. services are not performed, please contact Central Texas Refuse.
