San Antonio Prepares for a Massive Clear-Out on Free Landfill Day!

San Antonio is rolling out the welcome mat for its residents on April 12 with an event that’s sure to be a hit! The City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Department has organized a Free Landfill Day that lets you toss out all those large, unwanted household items without spending a dime! Are you tired of that old couch taking up space? Or do you have some appliances that need a new home? This is your chance to clear the clutter!

What Can You Drop Off?

On this exciting day, residents can dispose of a range of bulky items. This includes:

• Furniture such as sofas, chairs, and tables.
• Appliances like refrigerators and washing machines.
• Up to six passenger vehicle tires, just in case your garage is overflowing!

Just be mindful that some items are off-limits! You won’t be able to drop off any construction debris, roofing, sheetrock, or industrial waste. It’s always a good idea to double-check the city’s press release for a full list of what you can bring and what you should leave behind.

Where to Go

Mark your calendars! The drop-off locations will open their gates from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Free Landfill Day. You have the option to go to either:

• Republic Services Landfill located at 7000 IH 10 E
• Waste Management Landfill positioned at 8611 Covel Road

Don’t forget to bring a valid photo ID along with a CPS Energy utility bill that shows you’ve paid for the city’s environmental fee. This ensures a smooth and speedy process as you unload your items!

Safety First

As you prepare for your drop-off, make sure to cover your load with a tarp. This isn’t just a good practice; it’s a requirement! While wearing a safety vest isn’t mandatory, it’s highly recommended to ensure everyone’s safety during the event.

Can’t Make It? No Worries!

If you can’t participate on April 12, don’t fret. San Antonio operates four bulky item drop-off centers that are available year-round! These centers are open from Tuesday to Saturday and offer a convenient option for residents to dispose of their unwanted items at any time that suits them.

Make sure to spread the word to family and friends in the area. After all, the more, the merrier! Let’s work together as a community to keep San Antonio clean and beautiful!
