The City of Dallas picks up brush and bulky trash once a month for homes on city service, up to 10 cubic yards per pickup. Your neighborhood is assigned a collection week; find it in the Dallas Sanitation app, at dallas.gov/sanitation or by calling 311. There's no pickup during weeks that start on a fifth Monday.

How Dallas brush and bulk pickup works

  • Brush and bulky items are collected monthly, on your neighborhood's assigned week
  • Each home can set out up to 10 cubic yards of brush and bulky trash per month
  • Find your week in the Dallas Sanitation app, at dallas.gov/sanitation, or by calling 311
  • Keep piles from blocking the sidewalk or sticking into the street

Fifth-Monday weeks

Dallas runs bulk pickup on a four-Monday cycle, so weeks that start on a fifth Monday of the month have no brush or bulk pickup. If your stuff can't wait, plan around those weeks or book a pickup another way.

When the city pickup isn't enough

  • Piles bigger than 10 cubic yards
  • Construction or remodeling debris, which the city handles through its fee-based Cost Plus service
  • Items you need gone before your week comes around
  • Things you can't carry to the curb yourself
