Junk removal in Somerville, on the shore of Lake Somerville

The city's Collection Station is on FM 1361 (East 8th Street). It's open Mondays from 2 to 6 p.m. and Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It takes unbagged brush, furniture and other oversized items, plus white goods, as long as refrigerant units are drained and tagged.

There are conditions. The station is for city residents, plus customers outside city limits who get water and trash service from the city. Permits are sold at City Hall, which is closed Saturdays, so a Saturday drop-off means buying the permit during the week. It doesn't take household garbage, tires or hazardous waste, except during an authorized clean-up event. The posted rules also note that taking items from a collection station or landfill is against state law.

If you're not a city utility customer, the station isn't yours to use. And if the load is a fridge nobody has drained, a pile of tires or more than your truck can carry, it doesn't help much either. Outside town, Burleson County stations are limited to county residents and landowners with a vehicle sticker, and they refuse freon appliances and building materials.

That's where ME3 Junk Solutions comes in. Text photos, get a range, and the load goes in one trip. The Burleson County page lists the county stations, and nearby junk removal in Caldwell covers the county seat.

Somerville's Collection Station takes refrigerant units only once they're drained and tagged. If you don't have a technician lined up, ME3 Junk Solutions can haul the fridge or freezer as is. Refrigerant disposal requirements can add cost, and you'll know before loading. See appliance removal.

The station takes unbagged brush, but you still have to load it, haul it and come back for the next pile. For a cleared fence line or a downed tree, limbs, brush and landscape debris can go in one trailer load. See yard debris removal.
