Curbside brush and bulky item collection are each provided twice per year. Customers receive notification on a door hanger of their week of collection 7-10 days before collection begins.

We understand that you may not be able to wait for curbside collection of brush and bulky materials. For your convenience, we have Drop-Off Centers located around the City for the free disposal of your brush and bulky items. Customers can also schedule an out-of-cycle brush and bulky item collection for an additional fee.

For the many tons of material we collect through our various services, litter in San Antonio is still a problem. Keeping our beautiful City is a big job but is one you can help with.

Our Department picks up illegal dumping and we know where the trouble spots are - certain intersections, vacant lots and under bridges.

Consider forming an Adopt-a-Spot group so you and a group of coworkers, friends, and family can help keep City-owned rights-of-way, street medians, drainage channels, and green spaces clear from debris.

For local businesses that are participating in our ReWorksSA program, there are certification points available for hosting an Adopt-a-Spot event. Learn how.

To get started, visit the Adopt-a-Spot website.

Schedule a community cleanup event and dispose of unwanted brush or bulky items right in the neighborhood. Through our Dial-A-Trailer (DAT) program, you can reserve a garbage truck and trailer parked conveniently in a central location such as a parking lot or a park. This program is offered only on Saturdays.

We currently have four DATs available per Saturday. We can only send one unit per location request. Organizations are limited to two DAT events per calendar year. Only requests within the San Antonio city limits can be served. Please have three preferred Saturday dates when requesting this service as desired dates may already be committed. Events may not be scheduled on consecutive Saturdays. When scheduled, a truck and container will be stationed at a site from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

To reserve a DAT, please complete and return the DAT reservation request form.
