Amarillo Trash Pickup Schedule 2026: Quick Answer

The City of Amarillo waste pickup schedule normally provides residential garbage collection twice per week. A property may use an automated 95-gallon cart or a shared residential alley dumpster. Call 806-378-6813 with the complete address to confirm the correct two weekdays.

Regular carts and dumpsters are for securely bagged household garbage. Large furniture, mattresses, appliances and tree limbs should be scheduled through the free curbside bulky-item program. Construction debris, tires and some special materials may carry landfill fees.

The City’s current cart and dumpster pages do not publish one universal set-out clock time. Confirm the route instructions for the address rather than assuming that another city’s “7 AM rule” applies in Amarillo.

Which Amarillo Waste Service Should You Use?

Most search results combine regular garbage, shared dumpsters, bulk pickup, brush sites and landfill disposal into one vague answer. Select the task below to identify the correct starting service.

How to Find Your City of Amarillo Waste Pickup Schedule

Amarillo confirms that carts and residential dumpsters are typically collected twice per week, with adjustments for holidays and severe weather. The exact route days are address-specific.

1. Identify the property’s container type. Determine whether the home uses an individual wheeled cart or a shared metal dumpster in the alley.
2. Prepare the complete service address. Include the house number, full street name, ZIP code and unit number when applicable.
3. Call Solid Waste at 806-378-6813. Ask for both normal weekly collection days and confirm whether the property is assigned cart or dumpster service.
4. Ask about the current week. Check whether a holiday, extreme cold, wind, flooding or another operational change has altered the route.
5. Save both days with the correct container instructions. Cart customers should save a placement reminder. Dumpster customers should keep the alley and truck approach clear.

Amarillo Trash-Cart Pickup Rules

Amarillo’s Curbside Cart Collection Program uses a City-provided 95-gallon cart with an attached lid and wheels. An automated arm lifts the cart, so direction and clearance are important.

Why an Amarillo Cart May Be Skipped

City of Amarillo Residential Dumpster Pickup

Many Amarillo homes use shared dumpsters located in alleys. These containers are for securely bagged household refuse—not a general dumping location for furniture, tires, construction debris or liquids.

Overflowing or Damaged Dumpster

Call 806-378-6813 or email COAPublicWorks@amarillo.gov. Provide the nearest address, alley location, whether access is blocked and whether garbage is inside or beside the dumpster.

City of Amarillo Bulk Pickup Schedule and Placement Rules

Amarillo provides free curbside pickup for eligible bulky household items. This is a request-based service. Residents should schedule the pickup before creating a pile.

How to Request Amarillo Bulk Pickup

1. Separate the material by type. Keep household bulky items separate from tires, hazardous chemicals and construction or demolition debris.
2. Call or submit the official request. Contact 806-378-6813 or use the City’s online Curbside Collection Request form.
3. Describe the full pile. Provide the address, item names, quantity and whether any item contains refrigerant, fuel, glass or sharp metal.
4. Confirm eligibility and charges. Construction debris and tires may carry a fee. Do not assume every large item is free.
5. Follow the scheduled placement instructions. Place eligible items in the grass near the sidewalk or no more than three feet from the curb.
6. Keep the right-of-way and lifting area clear. Do not block sidewalks. Keep the pile away from fire hydrants, overhead wires, parked vehicles and other obstacles.

What to Do When Amarillo Trash Pickup Is Missed

The City does not publish one universal daily route-completion time. Before reporting a miss, check the address schedule, holiday notice, cart position or dumpster access.

1. Confirm the assigned weekday. Do not rely on another neighborhood or a general search result.
2. Check for a holiday or severe-weather notice. Amarillo may move routes ahead or behind the normal day.
3. Inspect cart placement. Check direction, lid closure, five-foot side clearance and 12-foot overhead clearance.
4. Inspect dumpster access. Look for parked vehicles, blocked alleys, overflow or waste left beside the container.
5. Check the material. Bulky items, tires, concrete, liquids and construction debris require another service.
6. Call 806-378-6813. Give the address, normal weekday, container type and exact problem.

Final Amarillo Resident Waste Plan

Start by confirming the two collection days and whether the property uses a cart or shared dumpster. Keep ordinary household garbage securely bagged and fully inside the correct container.

Use five feet of cart clearance and 12 feet of overhead clearance. Keep alley dumpsters accessible and never leave bulky material beside them.

Schedule eligible furniture, mattresses, appliances and tree limbs through the free curbside program. Use the brush sites for clean organic material, the HHW appointment program for qualifying chemicals and the landfill for larger or fee-based loads.

Beginning August 17, 2026, the landfill operates Monday–Saturday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with the last load accepted at 4:30 PM. Always confirm holiday or severe-weather changes before travel.
