Frisco Bulk Trash & Garbage Pickup 2026 – Large Items

Frisco provides regular weekly trash service in a 95-gallon black cart, but large items work differently. Bulk waste pickup is a once-a-month service for approved oversized items that will not fit in the cart, and residents must now reserve a spot on the bulk pickup list ahead of time.

How to Find Your Frisco Bulk Trash Pickup Day

Frisco bulk waste is not collected every week. It is tied to your normal trash and recycling day and falls on either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th week of each month depending on where you live in the city.

1. Check the city bulk page. Start at Frisco’s bulk trash pickup page.
2. Find your zone. Use the city’s interactive GIS General Map through the bulk page to identify your bulky waste week.
3. Reserve the pickup. Fill out the online bulk pickup form to get on the list.
4. Submit before the deadline. The pickup list closes at 12:00 p.m. noon on the business day before service.
5. Watch your email. Frisco says you will receive a scheduling email within one business day after your submission is processed.

Frisco Bulk Trash Pickup Schedule: How It Works

Frisco treats regular household trash and large-item collection as two separate services. Weekly black-cart trash stays on its regular day, while bulk waste is offered only once a month on your regular trash and recycling day within your assigned week of the month.

Frisco’s residential trash page also says that if you simply have more trash than will fit in the regular cart, paid pickup is available through Waste Connections by quote. That is different from the city’s monthly bulk item program.

What Counts as a Bulk Item in Frisco?

Frisco defines bulk waste as items too large to fit inside the trash cart, but only certain approved large items qualify. It is not a program for excessive bagged trash or random debris piles.

Examples of acceptable bulk items include:

• Furniture
• Carpet up to 16 square feet
• Kitchen cabinets and counter tops up to 50 pounds and 4-foot sections
• Wood poles under 4 feet
• One pallet up to 6 feet long or one 6-foot section of untreated fencing per month, if free of dirt and concrete

Examples of unacceptable bulk items include:

• Trash in boxes or bags
• Tree limbs, stumps, and root balls
• Televisions
• Tires
• Household chemicals and pesticides
• Automobile parts and products
• Tile

Frisco Set-Out Rules for Large Items

Frisco’s bulk form and trash pages give specific curbside instructions. If the items are not set correctly, the city says you may miss collection and need to reschedule.

• Place items by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled pickup day.
• Set items where your driveway meets the curb.
• Keep items at least 3 feet away from carts, vehicles, poles, mailboxes, and other obstacles.
• Do not expect private-property pickup. Frisco says crews cannot go onto private property.
• Remember the 5-item limit. Up to five approved items can be accepted for the monthly pickup.

Frisco’s bulk form also notes that Waste Connections has until 7:00 p.m. to complete the scheduled pickup, so a morning set-out does not always mean an early truck arrival.

Large Metal Items and Appliance Pickup in Frisco

Frisco also offers a separate curbside recycling program for metal items and appliances. This is useful for washers, dryers, refrigerators, treadmills, grills, water heaters, and similar items that are mostly metal.

1. Use the metal pickup form. Start at Metal Recycling Pick-Up.
2. Expect a trip fee. Frisco says there is a $15 one-time trip fee added to your next water bill.
3. Watch for refrigerant charges. Refrigerators, freezers, and wine coolers can trigger a $40 refrigerant extraction fee unless certified refrigerant-free.
4. List every item in the request. Anything not listed will not be picked up.
5. Set items at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the scheduled day where your regular trash and recycling are serviced.

Frisco’s metal-appliance rules also say non-metal items, electronic waste such as TVs, small kitchen gadgets, automotive parts, and propane tanks are not accepted in this service.

Frisco 2026 Holiday Trash and Bulk Schedule

Frisco’s official holiday page says there is no trash or recycling service on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. If your service day falls on or after one of those holidays in the same week, pickup moves one day later. If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, there is no delay.

Bulk pickup follows your normal trash and recycling day, so holiday weeks can affect monthly large-item service too. The safest move is to recheck the city’s holiday page and your confirmation email before a holiday week.

What to Do If Frisco Missed Your Bulk Pickup

Frisco directs residents to Environmental Services and the MyFRISCO request system for missed pickups, cart repair, and related service problems.

1. Check your confirmation email first. Make sure the request was fully scheduled.
2. Verify the deadline and item list. Frisco only collects approved items that were included in the request.
3. Leave the items in place for the day. Waste Connections has until 7:00 p.m. to complete scheduled pickup.
4. Use MyFRISCO or call Environmental Services. Report the issue through the service request system or call 972-292-5900.
5. Reschedule if necessary. The city says non-compliance may require a new appointment.
