Irving Trash Pickup Schedule: What Runs When

Irving’s regular residential solid waste pattern is simple once you separate trash from recycling and brush/bulky service.

Irving also says there is an eight trash bag limit per collection day and unlimited volume of recycling bags for residential curbside service. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Trash Bags, Recycling Bags, Brush, and Bulky Items

Irving uses separate curbside rules for each type of material, so keeping them distinct helps avoid missed collections and code issues.

Irving defines a bulky item as a household item that is easily moveable around the house, such as a sofa, chair, table, lamp, or mattress. Construction and demolition debris, fencing, rock, tires, and scrap building materials are not accepted curbside. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Irving Set-Out Rules

Irving’s official collection guidelines focus heavily on timing, bag size, and keeping piles accessible.

• Place waste at curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day or after 6:00 p.m. the night before.
• Keep the area clear. Place waste away from overhead lines, mailboxes, parked vehicles, hydrants, and other obstructions.
• Separate waste piles by 2 to 3 feet of unobstructed space.
• Use only 13- to 30-gallon trash bags. Bags must weigh no more than 50 pounds and must be tied closed.
• Observe the eight-bag trash limit per collection day.
• Store extra waste out of public view until the next collection day.

Irving Special Waste Collection

Irving offers scheduled curbside special waste collection for a defined list of household materials that need safer handling than regular trash pickup.

Acceptable curbside special waste items include:

• Household paint in sealed containers up to 5 gallons
• Used motor oil and oil filters
• Antifreeze and transmission fluid
• Vegetable oil in sealed 1-gallon containers
• Lead-acid automotive batteries

1. Call Solid Waste Services by 9:00 a.m. on trash collection days to schedule a special pickup.
2. Use proper containers. Oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, and vegetable oil must be in sealed containers.
3. Prepare oil filters correctly. Irving says filters should be in clear, sealed plastic bags with no more than five filters at one time.
4. Ask about specially handled items. Needles and some batteries require different handling instructions.
5. Use events when needed. Irving also hosts electronics recycling and home chemical collection events during the year.

Irving specifically says its curbside crews do not collect lithium batteries curbside, and the Hunter Ferrell Landfill does not accept them. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Irving 2026 Holiday Trash Schedule

Irving posts city holiday closures that directly affect trash, recycling, and brush/bulky pickup. The city also states a general rule: if a city holiday falls on your trash collection day, there will be only one trash collection that week; if a holiday falls on your recycling and brush/bulky day, there will be no service until the following week. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

What to Do If Irving Missed Your Pickup

If your bags, blue recycling bags, brush, or bulky items were not collected, first check whether it was the correct service day and whether a city holiday interrupted the route. Then review the set-out rules and contact the city’s collection team.

1. Check the pickup map. Confirm it was the correct address-based collection day.
2. Review holiday closures. Irving’s holiday rules can remove one or more service days from the week.
3. Confirm the setup rules. Bags must be tied, under 50 pounds, and placed in a clear, unobstructed spot.
4. Call Waste Collection Division. Use 972-721-2232 for missed collection help.
5. Use the right department for bulky questions. The brush/bulky page also lists 972-721-8059 for more information.
