Cedar Park Releases Bulk Trash Pickup Primer

CEDAR PARK, TEXAS — Cedar Park officials have released a primer related to bulk items pickup, detailing acceptable and unacceptable refuse residents can leave on curbs during their scheduled days of retrieval.

BULK ITEMS

Put these out on your normal service day (7 item limits applies). Most items too big to fit in your trash can should be placed on the curb. We will also pick up unlimited recycling on your designated recycling day. Please be sure to set extra bulk trash items next to the trash cart - but not in between trash and recycling carts - as this makes it difficult for crews to determine whether the bulk items are intended for trash or recycling.

*Please note that trash and recycling carts each may weigh no more than 75 pounds.*

ACCEPTABLE ITEMS

Large items such as washers, dryers, stoves, mattresses, refrigerant-free refrigerators (door removed), freezers and air conditioners tagged by a licensed refrigerant technician (tag certifies that refrigerant has been removed). Tree, shrub and brush trimmings securely tied together forming an easily handled package not exceeding four feet in length, no more than four inches in diameter, and 50 lbs. in weight and must be bundled and tied. Fencing material is accepted but must have nails removed, be bundled and tied, be no greater in length than four feet and weigh no more than 50 pounds.

UNACCEPTABLE ITEMS

Household hazardous waste, construction material, tires, dirt, rocks, concrete, batteries, roofing shingles, ammunition, explosives, compressed gasses and propane tanks, wet cardboard/paper/paper bags cannot be collected. Rocks and pieces of concrete are also not accepted, as they damage blades inside the trash truck. Any construction debris - may be hauled away in a special container leased from CTR. Call CTR at 512-243-2833 for more information.

City officials stress: Absolutely no hazardous materials of any kind will be picked up.
