How pickup works
| Type | Monthly, on your assigned week |
| Schedule | Set materials out between Thursday and Sunday before your collection week. Look up your week on the city's 2026 Brush & Bulky Collection Calendar or the Dallas Sanitation app. |
| Limits | Up to 10 cubic yards per month. Once per calendar year you may request an oversize collection of up to 20 cubic yards — submit a 311 request the week before your collection week, by Sunday 11:59 p.m. That request cannot be cancelled once submitted. |
| Cost | The monthly 10-cubic-yard collection is part of residential service. Set-outs over the limit (or over the once-a-year 20-yard exception) or with prohibited items are generally still collected and billed at $60 per 5 cubic yards. |
| Who is eligible | Residential customers. Not available for business or commercial properties. Contractor project waste should be hauled by the contractor. |
| How to set items out | Place items just behind the curb in front of your home, not in an alley, the street or on the sidewalk, and at least 5 feet from carts, mailboxes, fences, meters, parked cars and similar obstacles. |
How to book
No appointment for the regular monthly week — look up your calendar. For the once-a-year 20-yard exception, submit a service request online, in the Dallas 311 app, or by calling 311.
