Residents unloading oversized items during Free Landfill Day at a landfill in San Antonio.
San Antonio is offering residents a chance to declutter and dispose of bulky trash for free on February 10, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Participants must bring a valid picture ID and a CPS Energy bill. With three landfill locations available, residents can finally say goodbye to oversized items while ensuring safety and following guidelines. If you miss this opportunity, bulky item drop-off centers operate year-round. Don’t forget to prepare your documentation and load your items safely for a hassle-free cleanup day!
Hey there, San Antonio! If you’ve been thinking about giving your home a nice, spring cleaning refresh, then you’re in luck! The City of San Antonio’s Solid Waste Management Department is rolling out the red carpet for residents by hosting a Free Landfill Day on Saturday, February 10. From 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can dispose of your bulky trash items without spending a dime—yes, you heard it right!
So, how does this work? It’s pretty simple! The event will take place at three landfill locations throughout the city. All you have to do is load up those oversized items that have been taking up space in your garage or backyard. Just remember, this is the perfect chance to finally say goodbye to that old couch or that beat-up mattress!
But there’s a catch! To take advantage of this fantastic opportunity, you’ll need to come prepared. Participants are required to bring a valid picture ID along with a copy of your most recent CPS Energy bill. This bill should reflect payment of the city’s environmental fee. Don’t forget these documents—if you show up without them, you might have to pay regular disposal fees instead of enjoying the free service.
As with any good thing, safety comes first! Make sure all of your trash loads are covered with a tarp before you head to the landfill. It’s also a smart idea to throw on a safety vest while you’re there for an extra layer of protection. You know what they say, “better safe than sorry!”
You must be wondering what kinds of items you can toss into the landfill for free, right? Accepted materials include various bulky items—think old furniture, appliances, and other large junk that’s just taking up space. However, don’t get too carried away! There are specifics about what can’t be accepted, so keep an eye out for those guidelines to avoid any last-minute surprises.
And if you miss out on Free Landfill Day, don’t fret! The Solid Waste Management Department operates four bulky item drop-off centers that are free to use all year long. These centers are open from Tuesday to Saturday, providing you with even more opportunities to declutter without shelling out any cash.
A friendly heads-up: The City reserves the right to divert loads to other sites if needed. Plus, always check your vehicle after loading it up with junk—should anything happen, be aware that the city isn’t responsible for any vehicle damage or injuries during the event. So take care of your ride and look after yourself!
This Free Landfill Day is a brilliant chance to tackle that spring cleaning list! So why not circle February 10 on your calendar? It’s time to let go of the old and make some space for the new. Gather your documentation, pack up your bulky items, and head to one of the participating landfill locations for a day of stress-free cleanup. Your home will thank you!
Happy cleaning, San Antonio!
