City of Kerrville’s Bulky/large item curbside pickup begins March 3

The City of Kerrville Public Works Department has released helpful information about its upcoming bulky item collection scheduled for the month of March.  This collection is for residential units that have an active account for solid waste services with the City of Kerrville.

It is highly recommended that you place items curbside the weekend before your collection begins, or by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of your collection week.  Each collection week is based on regular garbage collection days.  If your garbage collection day is:

Monday – your collection week is March 3-7

Tuesday – your collection week is March 10-14

Wednesday/Thursday – your collection week is March 17-21

It is the responsibility of the owner/tenant to remove any items not collected due to improper placement.  Be advised that owners/tenants whose items set at the curb more than 10 days are subject to Code Enforcement, and may receive a violation notice.  In addition, scavenging of any items without the consent of the property owner is prohibited.
