Brush & Bulky Goods

Garland Environmental Waste Services proudly offers weekly brush and bulky goods pick-up from the front curb of residences on the same day as regular trash collection. Brush and Bulky Goods Collection is provided for large household items that will not fit into your green trash container. All items placed for collection should be generated by residents at their own property. 

The city does not collect contractor-generated waste from construction repairs, remodeling jobs or tree/lawn work.

Please help us provide timely and safe service by following the guidelines below.
