The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Bedford contracts its curbside collection to Republic Services and bills the service through the water bill, with trash picked up twice a week and recycling once a week. Both solid waste and recycling rates are published, including a senior recycling discount, and bulk trash and brush ride along with the weekly trash schedule rather than needing a separate appointment. Bulk loads are limited to items no larger than 3 by 3 by 12 feet and about 4 cubic yards of brush or bulk a week, and larger pieces move to a Republic special pick-up that is paid directly to the hauler. Items the curb refuses, including paint, chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electronics and tires, go to the Keep Bedford Beautiful events, the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center or the monthly free landfill day. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Bedford.

City cost & eligibility
$11.04 for the published monthly solid waste collection rate for trash, bulk and brush effective January 1, 2026, billed through the water bill, with the contract including a 3.25 percent annual increase each January 1. City of Bedford residential utility customers.
When & how
Trash is collected twice a week. West of Central Drive the days are Monday and Thursday, and east of Central Drive they are Tuesday and Friday. On the 2026 holiday schedule, Thanksgiving moves Thursday service to Friday and Friday service to Saturday, and Christmas and New Year's Day move Friday customers to the following Saturday.
Get it ready
Put only normal household trash in the bags, keep bricks, concrete, tiles and other non-compactible material off the curb, and use tied plastic bags inside garbage cans of up to 32 gallons. Containers are screened from public view when they are not out for collection.
Recycling is collected once a week by a separate truck and sorted at the Republic Services facility, so clean and dry material goes loose in the cart. Cardboard, metal food cans, glass, paper and plastic bottles, cups, jugs and tubs are accepted, and plastic codes 1 through 5 and 7 are recycled while polystyrene is not.
City cost & eligibility
$5.18 for the published monthly curbside recycling rate effective January 1, 2026, billed through the water bill, with the contract including a 3.25 percent annual increase each January 1. City of Bedford residential utility customers. Customers 65 and older pay a discounted recycling rate of $4.52 a month, which has to be requested from utility billing by email.
When & how

A mattress or box spring is an ordinary household bulk item in Bedford, so it goes out with the weekly bulk collection on a regular trash day while it fits the size limit.

Get it ready

Appliances are named in the City's list of acceptable bulk items, so a washer, dryer, water heater or refrigerator is collected at the curb on a regular trash day. A unit that contains Freon, PCB or another liquid or gaseous compound needs that product removed and a certified technician's tag before collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Bedford residential addresses on the collection routes, where appliances are included in the published monthly solid waste rate as bulk items.
When & how
Set the appliance at the curb with the bulk pile before 7 a.m. on a regular trash day, and have a refrigerant unit tagged before that day arrives.
Get it ready
Remove the refrigerant from a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner through a certified technician who places a special tag on the item, empty the unit, and take off loose doors or parts that would make the load unstable.
Electronic waste is not collected with regular bulk trash. Bedford routes televisions, computers, printers and other electronics to the Keep Bedford Beautiful Chunk Your Junk and Crud Cruiser events, where DFW Reclaimers takes the material.
City cost & eligibility
There is no curbside electronics fee because electronics are not collected with bulk trash. The Chunk Your Junk event accepts electronic waste at no charge with proof of Bedford residency, while the monthly free landfill day charges $25 for each e-waste item such as a television, computer, printer or DVD player, so confirm the route before loading.
When & how
Take electronics to a Keep Bedford Beautiful Chunk Your Junk or Crud Cruiser event. The 2026 Chunk Your Junk event runs Saturday, April 11, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Meadow Park Athletic Complex, 3200 Meadow Park Drive.
Get it ready
Remove personal data before the device leaves the house, keep electronics out of the recycling cart and the bulk pile, and bring proof of residency such as a recent water bill or driver license to the event.
Construction material does not go to the Bedford curb. Republic refuses concrete outright because it is not compactible, the City keeps bricks, concrete and tiles out of normal collection, and the Chunk Your Junk event allows no contractor material or construction debris beyond residential household construction.
City cost & eligibility
There is no curbside route or curbside fee for construction debris in Bedford, and the City's own event refuses contractor material. A renovation project arranges a private container or hauling service, and Republic customer service on 817-317-2000 can quote an extra pick-up for material it will accept.
When & how
Arrange a private container or hauling service before the work starts, because neither the regular collection nor the bulky route takes construction material.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, drywall, roofing, tile, fixtures, concrete, brick and demolition rubble out of the trash, recycling and bulk piles, and keep a contractor's material off the curb entirely.
Tires are refused with regular bulk trash in Bedford, and used tires are also refused at the Chunk Your Junk event, so the City publishes no curbside tire route.
City cost & eligibility
Bedford lists tires with paint, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs and batteries as items that are not collected with regular bulk trash, and the Chunk Your Junk event refuses old and used tires. The City routes residents to Time to Recycle to find tire disposal locations, so confirm a current site before moving tires.
When & how
There is no city tire collection. Use a tire retailer or a location listed by Time to Recycle, which the City names for tire disposal.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the trash cart, the recycling cart and the bulk pile, and keep them away from the event site because they are refused at the gate.
Paint, chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and similar material are refused with regular bulk trash. Bedford residents take them to the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center free of charge with proof of residency, and no Bedford voucher is needed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bedford residents, who present proof of residency such as a valid driver license or a recent water bill. The City states that no voucher from Bedford is required before the visit.
When & how
Take the material to the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center. The City directs residents to the receiving facility for contact information, hours of operation and packaging instructions.
Get it ready
Keep paint, thinners, oil, solvents, pesticides, herbicides, gasoline, antifreeze, cleaners, pool chemicals, batteries and fluorescent bulbs out of the carts and the bulk pile. Dried latex paint and empty paint cans may go in the regular trash, while oil based paint is always hazardous and never goes in the trash.
Exercise equipment is not named in the City's accepted bulk list, so the route depends on the machine. A treadmill or bench that fits the bulk size limit and the weekly allowance is ordinary household bulk, while a larger piece needs a Republic quote.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment has no named local rate. Confirm with Republic customer service at 817-317-2000 whether the machine fits the bulk size limit for the weekly collection or needs an extra pick-up, which is paid directly to Republic Services.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 817-317-2000 to confirm the machine, then set it out with the bulk pile before 7 a.m. on a regular trash day.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine where the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one item inside the 3 by 3 by 12 foot limit, then place it clear of cars, mailboxes and utility equipment.
Trash, recycling, bulk and brush must be at the curb before 7 a.m. on the collection day. The City asks residents not to put material out before 6 p.m. the evening before, while the recycling page states the ordinance window as 7 p.m., so follow the earlier of the two. Carts come in within 24 hours and stay screened from public view at other times.
A bulk piece may be no larger than 3 by 3 by 12 feet, and a household may put out about 4 cubic yards of brush or bulk each week. Brush is cut to 4 feet or less and bundled and tied at no more than 50 pounds per bundle. Anything larger is quoted by Republic Services at 817-317-2000 as an extra pick-up.
Refrigerant units need a certified removal and tag
A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that contains Freon, PCB or another liquid or gaseous compound must have that product removed by a certified technician who places a special tag on the item before collection.
Hazardous, electronic and construction material stays off the curb
Paint, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, tires and electronic waste are not collected with regular bulk trash, and concrete is refused because it cannot be compacted. Electronics go to a Keep Bedford Beautiful event, household hazardous waste goes to the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center, and construction material needs a private container or hauling service.
On the 2026 holiday schedule, Thanksgiving moves Thursday service to Friday and Friday service to Saturday, while Christmas and New Year's Day move Friday customers to the following Saturday. Monday through Thursday service runs as usual on the Christmas and New Year's weeks.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Bedford contract solid waste collection, collected by Republic Services
Republic extra pick-up for oversized loads
Households with a bulk item larger than the curbside size limit, or more brush or bulk than the weekly allowance.
Cost & conditions
Republic Services quotes an extra pick-up by phone at 817-317-2000 and publishes no rate table, so confirm the current price before the load is scheduled.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services customer service at 817-317-2000, describe the load, and follow the collection instructions the hauler gives. Payment for a special pick-up goes to Republic Services directly rather than on the water bill.
This route is for material Republic will accept, so concrete, paint, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, tires and electronics stay excluded even on a quoted pick-up.
City of Bedford contract solid waste collection, collected by Republic Services
Chunk Your Junk household drop-off event
Households with broken furniture, odds and ends or electronics that will not fit in a residential trash container.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bedford residents with proof of residency such as a recent water bill or driver license, at the annual Keep Bedford Beautiful event.
Arrange it
The 2026 event is Saturday, April 11, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Meadow Park Athletic Complex, 3200 Meadow Park Drive. Enter from Meadow Park Drive by turning south from Cummings Drive, and questions go to 817-952-2300.

City of Bedford contract solid waste collection, collected by Republic Services
Fort Worth environmental collection center
Households with paint, chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pool chemicals and other hazardous material the curb refuses.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bedford residents who show proof of residency such as a valid driver license or a recent water bill. The City states that no Bedford voucher is needed before the visit.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center, which publishes its own contact information, hours of operation and packaging instructions. The City of Bedford directs residents to that facility rather than to a Bedford site.
Examples accepted include fluorescent bulbs, lead-acid, alkaline and nicad batteries, latex and oil based paint and thinners, oil, solvents, pesticides, herbicides, petroleum based lubricants, gasoline, antifreeze, cleaners, ethylene glycol and pool chemicals. Dried latex paint and empty cans may go in the regular trash instead.
Households with reusable furniture, clothing, shoes, books, toys and other household items that are still in usable condition.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bedford residents arranging a donation pickup or using a local donation drop-off. Donation partners publish their own accepted item lists.
Arrange it
Schedule a Donate 2 Impact pickup at www.r2sdfw.com and place packed items outside the front door by 8 a.m. on the scheduled date, or use a local drop-off such as the Goodwill Donation Station at 2101 Bedford Rd.
Donation routes take reusable goods rather than disposal loads, so a stained, broken or non reusable item still goes through the bulk collection. The donation partner publishes the complete list of accepted items.
Residents of apartment complexes, which Bedford treats as commercial Republic Services accounts rather than single household accounts.
Cost & conditions
An apartment complex is billed as a commercial account, so the household routes and the free landfill days do not apply. Ask the property how its dumpster arrangement works, and confirm any charge with the complex rather than the City.
Arrange it
Contact the property manager or leasing office about using the complex dumpsters for excess refuse, or use the Keep Bedford Beautiful Chunk Your Junk event with proof of Bedford residency.
Bedford states that apartment residents are not authorized by Republic Services to take part in the free landfill days, and the City suggests asking the apartment about its dumpsters or joining the annual bulk waste collection event instead.
Bedford's self-haul routes run through the Keep Bedford Beautiful event calendar and the free landfill days rather than a city transfer station. Free landfill days fall on the fourth Saturday of the month from February through November in 2026, with no free day in January or December, at the Arlington Landfill, 800 Mosier Valley Road in Euless, open to residents from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and no-charge access is limited to individual homeowners with a Texas driver license and water bill showing the same address and waste delivered in a car, a pickup or a trailer up to 8 feet long. Larger and commercial loads are charged, hazardous waste is not included, and each e-waste item costs $25. Household hazardous waste goes to the Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center free with proof of residency, and electronics go to the Chunk Your Junk event, where DFW Reclaimers takes them. Tires have no city drop-off, so the City points residents to Time to Recycle for a location. 2026 free landfill day schedule and access rulesHousehold hazardous waste route and accepted materialChunk Your Junk event details and accepted materialBulk and brush pick-up rules
