The city will accept such items as appliances, furniture, metal, trash, plastic, lumber, construction debris, and vehicle batteries. Brush and tree limbs are accepted yearround and must be scheduled with Public Works at 254-729-3293 extension

Brush and tree limbs will NOT be accepted at the city lot on Jacinto Street. Other materials NOT accepted are tires, household chemicals, or any other hazardous waste.
