- Once per week used motor oil and oil filter collection
- Once per week heavy trash collection
Regular Collection Schedule
Regular collection is route based. To get your pick-up schedule, call 409-842-1483
Tips for the best collection service
- Garbage containers must be placed curb side by 7 a.m. on collection day and removed from the curb by 8 p.m. on the same day. Residents should not leave garbage containers at the curb overnight following collection day.
- All garbage other than heavy trash items (old furniture, household furnishings, yard waste, etc.) must be placed inside your 90-gallon container for pick-up. Waste that is outside the container will not be collected, and could result in a ticket and fine.
- Items which could be reused should be donated to charity or other organizations whenever possible.
- We suggest that you don’t place odor-producing garbage such as seafood waste, meats and old foods, in your 90-gallon container until collection day. If possible, refrigerate or freeze these items, then place in container on collection day.

Bulk Trash Collection
Heavy trash is collected weekly on your regular pickup day. The service is limited to single-family residential customers. Heavy trash from any other entity must be transported to the landfill.
Heavy trash includes:
- Large yard waste (Limbs & branches up to 8-feet long, or cut to 8-foot lengths)
- Tree trunks larger than 12″ in diameter must be cut to a maximum two foot length
- Furniture and mattresses
- Appliances and miscellaneous heavy debris
- A maximum of four tires per year
Heavy trash is NOT collected by city crews from the following:
- Businesses
- Churches
- Apartment buildings
- Construction sites
- Vacant lots
Please note that two days are allowed for each area. All material must be stacked neatly in separate piles and not under low overhead utility lines or trees.
Citizens who live on a corner lot should stack bulk trash as far as possible away from the roadway intersection, while still stacking the trash on their property. These Citizens should make certain that all drivers who travel through the intersection in any direction have a clear unobstructed view.

Holiday Collection Schedule

- New Year’s Day
- Fourth of July

All other holidays are regular work days for collections and the landfill.
When any of the above listed holidays fall on a collection day, the collection schedule will shift to the following day. This will result in the last collection day being on the Friday of that holiday week. For instance, there will be no collection Thanksgiving Day (Thursday), therefore, the regular Thursday collection day will be moved to Friday.

Compost Distribution
Saturdays
8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Citizens with proof of Beaumont residency (utility bill, driver’s license, etc.) will not be charged for landfill disposal if they haul the debris themselves from their single family residences.
Contractors such as roofers, lawn services, tree trimmers, etc., will be charged for disposal. There is also a charge for disposal of trash from businesses regardless of who the hauler is.
Household Hazardous Waste
The South East Texas Regional Planning Commission holds regular collection events for household hazardous waste in our area.
Because they are toxic and pose health and environmental hazards if disposed of improperly, the following items should not be disposed of with your regular garbage:
- Batteries
- paint and varnish
- solvents
- pesticides and fertilizers
- auto fluids
- used oil and filters
- pool chemicals
- mercury
This is only a partial list. If you have any questions about potentially toxic materials, or you would like the date of the next collection event, contact SETRPC at 409-899-8444, Ext. 7520, or visit setrpc.org.
Composting
Each year, millions of tons of leaves, grass clippings, tree limbs, weeds, organic debris and other yard wastes end up in Texas landfills. This volume represents about 20 percent of all trash placed in landfills. It costs Texans more than $250 million a year to collect and dispose of yard wastes.
Putting these materials to use instead of throwing them away can save money and preserve and protect the environment for all Texans. Click here for information and tips on composting from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Neighborhood Clean-Up and Adopt-a-Street Programs
The City of Beaumont offers a number of free services to help citizens keep their neighborhoods clean and free of trash and litter, including loaner trash bins and loaner garbage trucks, and neighborhood cleanup days.
Individuals and organizations also can participate in our Adopt-A-Street program. The program requires a two-year commitment to keep a specific stretch of roadway litter-free. Participants are recognized with a street sign, and can have a group photo under the sign. The photo will appear on the city’s home page.
