Cleaning out a house in Houston: what the city will and won’t do

Houston’s city heavy trash service alternates by month: junk waste such as furniture and appliances is collected in even-numbered months, and tree waste in odd-numbered months, on the heavy trash day assigned to your neighborhood. The city’s HTX Collects app shows your schedule.

How bulk pickup works in Houston

  • Only one type of heavy trash is collected each month, so furniture put out in a tree-waste month has to wait.
  • Piles belong beside the curb, not in the street, on the sidewalk or under low wires and mailboxes.
  • No more than 8 cubic yards of junk or tree waste can be set out per collection.
  • When volumes spike, collection can run behind schedule, which has happened after busy months and storms.

For a whole-house or estate cleanout, city collection is rarely the answer. Houston’s program is built around 8 cubic yards, junk waste in even months only, while a three-bedroom home can fill several truckloads. A cleanout crew clears the property in one or two visits, so a sale, move-in or rental listing doesn’t have to wait until the next even-numbered month.

Recycling, donation and local tips in Houston

Texas runs manufacturer take-back programs for computers and TVs, so many electronics can be recycled through the maker’s program instead of going to landfill.

In an estate or family cleanout, documents, photos, jewelry and keepsakes are set aside for you before anything is loaded, and furniture in good condition is offered for donation.

How house cleanout pricing works in Houston

Every house cleanout job in Houston is quoted individually, and the price is agreed before anything is loaded. It depends on:

  • Truck space used
  • Weight of the materials
  • Stairs, elevators and carrying distance
  • Mattresses, appliances and electronics
  • Disposal and recycling fees

Compared with 8 cubic yards, junk waste in even months only through the City of Houston Solid Waste Management Department, a quote from us covers whatever amount you have, with the labor, the driving and the disposal in one figure.

How it works

  1. Tell us what needs to go

    Fill in the quote form with your name, phone number, job type and preferred date. A short description of your house cleanout job in Houston is enough to start; photos help.

  2. Get a price

    We call you back with a price based on what you have. The price is agreed before anything is loaded.

  3. We do the lifting

    Usable items go to donation, recyclables are separated, and the rest goes to permitted facilities.
