Tyler Trash Pickup & Garbage Schedule 2026

Tyler Solid Waste collects household garbage for residents in the northern portion of the city on Mondays and Thursdays and for residents in the southern portion on Tuesdays and Fridays. Residents who enroll in curbside recycling receive a separate recycling cart and twice-a-month recycling pickup for a monthly fee.

How to Find Your Tyler Trash Pickup Day

Tyler’s solid waste system is route-based, and the City’s Tyler Talks Trash tool is the easiest way to confirm your exact address schedule. This is especially helpful for curbside recycling customers and during holiday weeks.

1. Open the Solid Waste page. Go to Tyler Solid Waste.
2. Enter your address in Tyler Talks Trash. The City notes that if your address contains N, S, E, or W and does not appear, try entering the street number and street name without the directional letter.
3. Check your household route. North-side residents are normally served Monday and Thursday, and south-side residents Tuesday and Friday.
4. Check recycling separately if enrolled. Curbside recycling is not automatic for every home. It is a paid twice-a-month program.
5. Use reminders. Tyler Talks Trash also supports reminders for schedules and service changes.

Tyler Trash Pickup Schedule: What Runs When

Tyler’s household garbage schedule is based on whether you live in the northern or southern portion of the city. Recycling is a separate subscription service, and bulky or special pickup is handled differently from routine household trash.

Tyler’s routes are simple once you know your side of town, but holiday weeks can temporarily change the order. That is why the City recommends using the app or official calendar for changes rather than guessing from a neighbor’s set-out.

Tyler Garbage, Recycling, and Bulky Pickup System

Tyler uses separate systems for regular household garbage, subscribed curbside recycling, and oversized or special collections. Keeping them separate makes pickup smoother and helps avoid missed service.

Tyler also offers special pickups for large items such as furniture, appliances, tires, bulk brush, tree stumps, and other oversized material. The City says bundled limbs weighing less than 50 pounds and measuring less than 4 feet can be picked up free of charge when prepared correctly.

Tyler Set-Out Rules

Tyler’s container timing rules are strict. Getting the timing or placement wrong can easily lead to a missed pickup or delayed service.

• Put containers out no earlier than 6:00 p.m. on the day before scheduled collection.
• Have containers at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day.
• Do not place yard waste inside the household garbage cart.
• Keep bundled limbs separate from the cart. The City says they should be six feet away from the garbage cart.
• Use the cart for household garbage only. Loose oversized items should be handled under bulky or special-pickup rules.

Tyler Bulky Items and Special Pickups

Tyler offers bulky and special collection service for items too large for normal pickup. The City says pricing starts at $20 and varies based on the size and quantity of the material.

Common bulky or special-pickup items include:

• Furniture
• Appliances
• Carpet and fencing material
• Old toys and other large household items
• Tires, brush, tree limbs, and tree stumps

1. Place bulky items at the curb. Tyler asks customers to place the material out first, then request the pickup.
2. Call Solid Waste. Use 903-531-1388 to arrange bulky or special collection.
3. Separate bulk trash from bulk brush. If both are being collected, the City says to create separate piles and leave at least two feet between them.
4. Expect fees for larger or special material. Bulk brush, tree stumps, and more than 25 leaf bags are treated as special pickup items with charges based on size and quantity.
5. Do not keep adding to the pile after pickup is requested. If you put out more items later, you may need another request.

Tyler 2026 Holiday Trash Schedule

Tyler publishes route-by-route holiday adjustments instead of using one blanket delay rule for every week. The City’s 2026 updates already show several holiday changes, and holiday weeks prioritize household garbage over yard waste.

Tyler’s calendar and holiday notices are the safest source during holiday weeks because route changes are not always simple one-day delays for every address.

What to Do If Tyler Missed Your Pickup

If your cart, recycling, or bulky material was not collected, Tyler Solid Waste is the main contact point. The app is helpful, but the City also tells residents to call the office for service questions, cart problems, and schedule issues.

1. Check your route day first. Confirm whether your address is in the north or south part of the city.
2. Review holiday notices. Tyler’s holiday weeks can reorder routes and reduce yard waste pickup.
3. Check your set-out time. Containers should be out by 6:00 a.m. after being placed no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before.
4. Confirm the material belongs in that service stream. Recycling contamination, oversized brush, or yard waste in the garbage cart can all create collection problems.
5. Call Solid Waste for help. Reach Tyler Solid Waste at 903-531-1388.

Tyler Recycling Center and Extra Disposal Options

When curbside service is not enough, Tyler also offers a free self-service Downtown Recycling Center. This is a useful option for people who want a no-subscription recycling drop-off choice or who need to recycle extra material.
