Who handles trash pickup in Laredo?
Residential: Most homes use the City of Laredo for weekly curbside service. Check your city cart, bill, or the City’s solid‑waste page for your day and holiday changes.
Businesses & projects: Commercial locations and construction/cleanout jobs typically use a private hauler (like Southern Sanitation) for front‑load or roll‑off service customized to volume and pickup frequency.
Residential trash pickup basics (quick checklist)
-
Setout time & placement: Put carts at the curb by early morning; leave 3 feet around each cart, wheels to the curb.
-
Bag heavy/loose waste: Prevent litter and pests; keep lids closed.
-
Keep out hazardous items: Batteries, oil, chemicals, tires, and electronics require special handling.
-
Bulk items: Bulky waste (appliances, furniture) is usually handled separately—schedule a pickup or use a roll‑off if you’re remodeling.
-
Holiday & weather delays: Expect a one‑day slide or posted changes during major holidays or severe weather.
Tip: Large cleanouts, move‑outs, roofing, or landscaping often overflow a household cart. A 10–20 yd roll‑off is the fastest, cheapest way to avoid extra trips.
