Laredo will hold a district-wide bulky waste collection event for District IV residents on October 27, 2026. This service allows households to clear out large items like furniture and appliances at no cost.
Why it matters
Regular bulky waste collection helps residents manage household clutter and keep neighborhood curbsides clear of discarded items. Utilizing city-scheduled events ensures large items are disposed of properly without incurring individual service fees.
Residents may dispose of four items for free, while any additional items cost $15 for the first, $10 for the second, and $5 for each subsequent piece. Items must be placed at least 10 feet from objects like cars and fences.

Ensure all bulky items are placed at the curb by 6 a.m. on October 27 and verify your items are at least 10 feet from fences or vehicles. Check the city portal if you need to schedule a separate special pickup outside of the district event.
The takeaway
Take advantage of this district collection to dispose of large furniture and appliances at no cost to your household. Always verify your specific item eligibility before putting them out to ensure they are collected by city crews.
