San Antonio Sets the Stage for a Spring Clean-up with Free Landfill Day!
Mark your calendars, San Antonio! The City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Department is giving residents a golden opportunity to declutter their homes for free on Saturday, April 12, 2025. It’s the perfect chance to get rid of those unwanted household items without spending a dime!
When and Where?
This exciting event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and you’ll have two convenient locations to choose from:
- Republic Services Landfill: 7000 IH 10 E
- Waste Management Landfill: 8611 Covel Road
What Can You Dispose Of?
So, what exactly can you clean out of your house? This event is perfect for bulky household items! Think about those old sofas, broken appliances, or even that ancient treadmill that’s been gathering dust in the corner. You can also bring up to six passenger vehicle tires. It’s a great way to make your living space feel fresh and new!
What You Need to Participate
Before you load everything into the car, make sure you have a couple of important items with you. First off, don’t forget your valid photo ID. It’s also a must to bring a recent CPS Energy utility bill that shows you’ve paid the city’s environmental fee. This helps ensure only residents are participating in the fun!
Safety Comes First!
While it’s not mandatory, wearing a safety vest is strongly encouraged to keep you visible during the drop-off process. Also, remember to bring a tarp to cover all loads you’re transporting to the landfills. Safety and organization can make the whole process smoother!
What Not to Bring
Now, before you start packing the car, keep in mind there are some items that just can’t be accepted at this event. Things like roofing materials, sheetrock, and construction debris are off the list, as well as any industrial or commercial waste. If you’re unsure about what to bring, check out the city’s press release for a comprehensive list.
Year-Round Solutions for Unwanted Items
Even though this free landfill day is a fantastic opportunity, remember that the city offers four bulky item drop-off centers year-round! These centers are open for easy disposal from Tuesday to Saturday. If you’ve got items that can’t wait until April, you have options!
Stay Informed!
