Local disposal programs in Houston
Houston picks up heavy trash once a month. Even-numbered months are junk waste (furniture, appliances and other bulky items); odd-numbered months are tree waste only.
Heavy trash set-outs are capped at 8 cubic yards, roughly a minivan of material. Between collection months, residents can use city drop-off centers with proof of address.

Disposal rules in Texas
Texas has no statewide mattress recycling program. Statewide programs currently operate only in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island, so mattress disposal here goes through your hauler or local facility.
Texas has a statewide electronics recycling law. Check local rules before putting TVs, computers or monitors out with regular junk, and expect haulers to handle them separately.

What single items cost to remove in Houston
Haulers charge for the truck space an item fills, so one piece on its own costs more per item than the same piece added to a bigger load. These are Houston prices for the items people ask about most.
