Enter your ZIP code below — we'll take you straight to your city's official schedule. No searching, no confusion.
This resident guide explains the 7:00 AM deadline, cart placement, recycling and compost rules, two included bulky pickups, free monthly landfill allowance, 2026 holiday delays, current rates, household hazardous waste, accessibility assistance and missed-service standards.
Kyle Trash Pickup Schedule 2026: Quick Answer
The City of Kyle contracts residential trash, recycling and green-waste collection to Texas Disposal Systems. Household trash is collected once per week. Single-stream recycling and green waste are collected every other week. The exact dates vary by service address and should be confirmed through TDS Waste Wizard.
Place the scheduled cart at the curb by 7:00 AM, but not earlier than the evening before. Normal household trash must fit inside the TDS cart. The City–TDS contract allows residential collection between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, so collection time can change even when the weekday stays the same.
Eligible Kyle utility customers also receive two on-call bulky or brush collections each year, one free landfill drop-off per month of up to five cubic yards, seasonal Christmas-tree collection and access to the San Marcos residential household-hazardous-waste facility.
How to Find the Kyle TX Trash Pickup Schedule by Address
Kyle does not assign one collection weekday to every household. TDS Waste Wizard connects the exact service address to weekly trash, alternating recycling, alternating green waste, holiday changes and item-specific disposal instructions.
- Open the official TDS Waste Wizard. Use the online tool or the TDS Waste Wizard mobile app.
- Enter the complete service address. Use the house number, full street name and ZIP code. Select the exact address from the suggested results.
- Record the weekly trash weekday. Household trash runs once each week, but your route day depends on the address.
- Save the next recycling date. Recycling runs every other week. Saving only the weekday is not enough because the off week uses the same weekday.
- Save the next green-waste date. Green waste also runs every other week and may not match the recycling cycle shown for another neighborhood.
- Enable reminders. Waste Wizard notifications are especially useful before Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day and severe-weather events.
Save three separate reminders
Weekly: regular trash cart.
Alternating date: recycling cart.
Alternating date: green-waste cart and any eligible brown paper yard bags.
After understanding which dates you need, use the official address tool for the final live result.

Kyle Garbage Cart Set-Out and Placement Rules
The City–TDS agreement requires residential refuse at the curb by 7:00 AM and no earlier than the evening before. Automated collection also requires a clear approach to the cart.
Correct cart placement
- Roll out only the service scheduled for that date.
- Place the cart within about five feet of the curb or approved roadway collection point.
- Keep the cart accessible to the collection vehicle.
- Keep it clear of parked cars, mailboxes, trees, utility equipment and construction barriers.
- Keep the lid as closed as the contents allow.
- Keep the cart out of traffic lanes and pedestrian travel paths.
Why a cart may be skipped
- The cart was placed out after the truck passed.
- A vehicle or object blocked mechanical access.
- Loose material or bags were outside the cart.
- The wrong alternating-week cart was set out.
- The cart contained hazardous or construction waste.
- The cart was placed in an unsafe or inaccessible location.
City of Kyle Trash Cart: Special Preparation and Prohibited Waste
Items Allowed Only When Prepared Correctly
| Item | Required preparation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Cooled ashes, sawdust and vacuum dust | Bag and seal the dusty material. | Prevents dust from blowing during collection. |
| Broken glass | Wrap it, put it in a box and clearly label the box “BROKEN GLASS.” | Protects residents and collection workers. |
| Animal waste and cat litter | Bag and seal it securely. | Reduces odor, leakage and insects. |
| Styrofoam packing peanuts | Seal them inside a bag. | Loose foam easily escapes into streets and drainage areas. |
| Needles and syringes | Place them inside a hard plastic or metal container with a tightly secured lid. | Loose sharps create puncture and exposure risks. |
Do Not Put These in the Trash Cart
Construction and heavy material
Rocks, dirt, concrete, gravel and construction or demolition debris require another disposal method.
Hazardous material
Paint, solvents, batteries, automotive fluids, fluorescent bulbs and pool chemicals stay out.
Large dead animals
Do not place a large dead animal in the cart. Contact Kyle 311 for the correct reporting path.
City of Kyle Recycling Schedule and Accepted Materials

Paper
Junk mail, newspapers, magazines and office paper are included in published guidance.
Cardboard and boxboard
Shipping boxes, cereal boxes and shoe boxes may be recycled. Flatten larger boxes.

Contract Details About Recyclable Material
The City–TDS agreement lists green, brown and clear glass; plastics numbered 1 through 7; aluminum, tin and steel cans; newsprint, cardboard, boxboard, junk mail, magazines and office paper. Because recycling markets and accepted materials can change, use Waste Wizard for an unusual plastic, foam item, film, electronics or composite package.
Prevent Recycling Contamination
- Empty bottles, jars and cans.

- Flatten cardboard so it does not jam inside the cart.
- Keep batteries, bulbs, chemicals and electronics out.

Kyle Trash Pickup Holiday Schedule 2026
TDS currently closes for New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It says service generally operates normally on its other listed holidays. When an assigned pickup falls on a closure holiday, service typically slides one day, but Waste Wizard remains the final address-level source.
| TDS closure | 2026 date | Likely route impact | Resident action |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Year’s Day | Thursday, January 1 | Thursday service typically moves to Friday and Friday service to Saturday. | Confirm each scheduled cart in Waste Wizard. |
| Thanksgiving Day | Thursday, November 26 | Thursday service typically moves to Friday and Friday service to Saturday. | Check trash, recycling and green-waste dates separately. |
| Christmas Day | Friday, December 25 | A Friday route typically slides to Saturday. | Check for a current TDS notice before curb placement. |
Holidays TDS Currently Lists as Normal Service
Current TDS guidance lists normal operations for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Kyle Trash, Recycling or Green Waste Was Missed
- Recheck Waste Wizard. Confirm the exact address, date and service type. Recycling and green waste may be in an off week.
- Verify the 7:00 AM set-out. Make sure the cart was accessible before the route began.
- Check placement and contents. Look for a blocked cart, overflow, contamination or prohibited material.
- Check holiday and weather alerts. A citywide delay is different from a missed individual address.
- Call TDS Customer Care. Give the full service address, scheduled date, cart type and the time it was placed outside.
Missed-pickup report script
“My [trash/recycling/green-waste] cart at [full address] was at the curb before 7:00 AM on [date]. Waste Wizard showed service for that date. Please confirm the route status and create a missed-collection request.”
Damaged, Missing or Unusable Kyle Cart
TDS retains ownership of the trash, recycling and green-waste carts. Report a damaged wheel, lid, handle or cart body rather than attempting a repair that could interfere with automated collection.
Damaged cart
Call TDS, describe the damaged component and explain whether the cart can still be moved or emptied safely.
Missing cart
Check nearby homes after collection, then report the missing cart and ask whether a replacement charge applies.
Kyle Solid-Waste Rates and Extra Cart Charges
Kyle bills solid-waste service as a fixed monthly utility charge. The bill can also show a solid-waste administration fee. The main service rate already includes the listed franchise fee and sales tax.
| FY 2026 charge | October–March | April–September | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full retail solid-waste rate | $30.05 monthly | $30.80 monthly | Includes the published 10% franchise fee and 8.25% sales tax. |

| Published senior rate | $27.06 monthly | $27.73 monthly | Ask Utility Billing for current eligibility and proof requirements. |
| Senior extra refuse cart | $6.06 monthly | $6.21 monthly | Available only when senior-rate eligibility is approved. |
| Solid-waste administration fee | $2.63 monthly per account | Separate account-level fee. | |
How to Start City of Kyle Trash Service
Kyle’s Utility Billing Department determines which services are available at the exact address. The City tells new applicants to choose “Set Up My Water” in the online application even when the address may receive a different combination of water, wastewater and trash services.
Documents to Prepare
- Completed utility application.
- Valid government-issued photo identification.
- Signed lease for a renter or proof of ownership for an owner.
- Complete service address and requested start date.
Published Setup Amounts
| Service combination | Deposit | Service charge | Total due |
|---|---|---|---|

| Trash only | $31.70 | $31.70 | $63.40 |
Homeside Collection for Residents With Disabilities
The City–TDS agreement requires special homeside collection arrangements for individuals with demonstrated disabilities who cannot place a cart at the normal curbside point. The City determines eligibility.
Ask for the correct program
Use the phrase “homeside solid-waste collection” when contacting Kyle 311 or Utility Billing.
Prepare account information
Be ready with the service address and account details. Ask what current eligibility documentation is required before sending personal information.
Kyle Christmas-Tree Recycling Schedule
Natural Christmas trees can be placed beside TDS curbside carts from December 26 through January 31 on the normal trash day.
Natural tree only
Artificial trees do not qualify for the curbside tree-recycling program.
Cut the tree in half
Kyle instructs residents to divide the tree before setting it beside the carts.
Remove contamination
Remove flocking, lights, ornaments, metal stands and every other non-living material.
Weather, Ice and Flooding Delays
Ice, flooding, severe thunderstorms, downed trees and blocked roads can temporarily override a normal TDS route. Waste Wizard and City alerts are more reliable than a normal weekday during an emergency.
Winter weather
A one-day delay can move remaining routes later for the rest of the week.
Flooded streets
Do not put carts in floodwater or block a drainage path or emergency route.
Current alerts
Check Waste Wizard, City communications and TDS notices before reporting a miss.
Austin, Buda or Georgetown Trash Pickup Schedule?
Suggested searches frequently mix Kyle with nearby cities. The same contractor may serve multiple municipalities, but each city can have different collection frequencies, set-out times, included bulky service, rates and drop-off benefits.
City of Austin Trash Pickup Schedule
Austin Resource Recovery serves eligible Austin residential customers. Austin generally uses weekly trash and compost, every-other-week recycling and an address-specific on-demand system for bulk, brush and household hazardous waste. Kyle’s two annual bulky pickups and free monthly TDS landfill allowance should not be applied to an Austin account.
For an Austin address, use the verified Austin trash pickup schedule guide.
Buda Trash Pickup Schedule
Buda also works with TDS, but its municipal account rules and bulky or brush program are different. Use the Buda service address and the official Buda solid-waste page rather than transferring a Kyle allowance or rate.
Official Buda Solid Waste InformationGeorgetown Trash Pickup Schedule
Georgetown uses TDS within its own municipal program. Its cart timing, local contacts, bulky disposal options and billing requirements are separate from Kyle.
For a Georgetown property, use the verified Georgetown trash pickup schedule guide.

Guessing the alternating week
Recycling and green waste are not weekly, and a nearby subdivision may follow another cycle.

The truck may already have passed even when another street receives later service.
Blocking the cart
Vehicles, mailboxes, tree limbs and construction can prevent safe mechanical collection.
Unscheduled bulky waste
Furniture and large brush require an appointment before curb placement.
Mixing hazardous waste

Following a nearby city
Austin, Buda, Georgetown and Kyle use different municipal rules.

Green waste is collected every other week. Up to 10 approved brown paper yard bags may be placed beside the green cart on the scheduled week.
What time must Kyle carts be at the curb?
Carts should be accessible by 7:00 AM on the scheduled collection day and should not be placed out earlier than the evening before.

Call TDS at 800-375-8375 before set-out. Eligible Kyle utility customers receive two scheduled bulky or brush pickups per year, up to three cubic yards per pickup.
Which 2026 holidays delay Kyle trash pickup?
TDS currently closes on New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Service falling on a closure holiday typically slides one day, but Waste Wizard should be checked for the exact address.
What happens after a valid missed Kyle pickup?
The City–TDS agreement says a valid missed collection must be completed within two business days of the normal pickup day at no additional customer cost.
How quickly should TDS replace a damaged Kyle cart?
The service agreement says damaged and unusable carts should be replaced within five business days after notice.

Eligible Kyle residential utility customers receive one monthly landfill drop-off of up to five cubic yards. Bring a matching Kyle utility bill and driver’s license and secure the load.
Can I put a refrigerator out for bulky pickup?
Potentially, but refrigerant must be removed by a certified technician and the appliance must be properly tagged. Confirm the item with TDS before set-out.
Final Kyle Collection Plan
Search the complete address in Waste Wizard and save three separate schedules: weekly household trash, alternating recycling and alternating green waste. Move the correct cart out the evening before or before 7:00 AM.
Call TDS before placing furniture, appliances or bundled brush outside. Use the two included bulky pickups for qualifying material and the monthly five-cubic-yard landfill allowance for larger eligible loads.
Keep paint, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pool chemicals, electronics and construction debris out of normal carts. Check the correct special-disposal path before loading a vehicle.
During New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas or severe weather, recheck Waste Wizard instead of assuming the normal weekday remains unchanged.
