Junk hauling in Caldwell, the Burleson County seat

Caldwell runs its own sanitation crews for trash and bulk. To set up a bulk pickup, residents call the Utility Department at 979-567-3271, extension 100 or 101. Brush, leaf bags and old furniture go within 3 feet of the curb, with brush and leaves kept apart from everything else.

For recycling, the city runs a center at the City Warehouse, 1101 Commerce Street, open weekdays and Saturday mornings.

Caldwell is unusual here. The city is the only roll-off container provider in town unless another company registers with it, a permit is required, and the container has to be gone within 30 days after the project ends.

For a remodel that runs for weeks, a container can make sense. For a garage, a mobile home or one room of debris, loading it all onto a trailer in one visit usually works better. Nothing sits in the driveway. The junk removal vs. dumpster rental guide compares the two.

Caldwell's crews serve the city. Out in the county, Burleson County collection stations are for county residents and landowners only, and each vehicle needs a yearly sticker. They take residential waste, but no construction materials like shingles, sheetrock, PVC or siding, and no freon appliances. Only the Deanville station takes tires. The Burleson County page has the station list.

Caldwell's sanitation division won't pick up any appliance that has refrigerant. That covers fridges, freezers and window units. Under federal rules, the last stop for the unit has to make sure the refrigerant is recovered, so these cost more to get rid of than a washer.

ME3 Junk Solutions hauls them from the kitchen, garage or porch. Refrigerant disposal requirements can add to the price, and that's settled before anything is loaded. See appliance removal.

Between the city's roll-off permit and county stations that refuse shingles, sheetrock, PVC and siding, renovation debris around Caldwell has few easy outs. Lumber, drywall, flooring and cabinets get loaded and hauled with no container left behind. See construction debris removal.

A mobile home or rental left full by the last occupant is a property cleanout. It's priced once from a walkthrough or photos, then cleared in one visit when the size allows. With 18% of local homes being mobile homes, this comes up often.
