Final Fall Bulky Item Collect Week

TYLER – The City of Tyler wraps up its Bulky Items Week activities this week. Last week it was for home owners who have their garbage collected on Monday and Thursdays. This week it is for homeowners whose garbage is collected on Tuesday and Fridays.

The City of Tyler Solid Waste Department and Keep Tyler Beautiful sponsors the free bulky item collection for City of Tyler residential customers as a part of Fall Cleanup Weeks. Bulky items that will be picked up at no charge include: furniture, appliances, carpet, fence material, up to four noncommercial vehicle tires, old toys and other large items that would normally require a special fee. No liquid waste, limbs or brush will be picked up. Paint must be dried out with oil dry or kitty litter.

If your garbage is normally collected Tuesday and Friday, you’re asked to place your bulky items on the curb on Monday, September 26 and leave them there until they are picked up. There is no need to call the Solid Waste Office when you set out your bulky garbage. Items may be collected on a different day from your regular collection

Residents are encouraged to contact the Habitat for Humanity ReStore or Goodwill Industries before disposing of unwanted items that are in good condition. Computers and other electronics can be recycled at any Tyler Goodwill Drop Off on weekdays or at the Tyler Recycling Collection Center from Wednesday through Saturday. You can go to
