Bulky Oversized Trash

If your items are in reusable condition, please consider keeping them out of the landfill by donating them to a local charitable organization before scheduling pickup of bulky trash pickup. Many of these locations offer convenient pickup and drop off options. For a list of locations and accepted items, see The Woodlands Donation Guide
