Solid Waste

The City of Georgetown provides garbage collection services through a contract with Texas Disposal Systems (TDS). City residents have once weekly curbside pick-up with a 35-, 65-, or 96-gallon container provided by TDS. All City utility customers who live inside the city limits are required to have garbage through TDS. City utility customers who live outside the city limits have the option of having once weekly pick-up through the City’s contractor or choosing another service provider. Businesses within the City are to arrange for commercial services from TDS that fit their needs. Your utility bill will show the amount paid for garbage pick-up for each month.

For more information or to register a complaint, contact TDS at (512) 930-1715 or email aucustomercare@texasdisposal.com.

Residential Solid Waste Collection

• Solid waste and recycling pickup days will change for some Georgetown area residents starting the week of Monday, December 8, 2008. The change will affect some, but not all Texas Disposal Systems customers in Georgetown. If your collection day is changing, a flyer will be delivered to you and a sticker will be placed on your collection cart indicating your new pickup day. For all customers, your recycling pickup day will also be your trash pickup day. For a map of the new collection routes, go to the link below.
• The container and other waste must be placed at curbside for collection by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day
• Residents are allowed to dispose of five (5) bags or bundles of acceptable waste at each weekly collection in addition to the container. Acceptable waste includes garbage and brush. No hazardous materials will be collected
• Residents may place bundled tree limbs with their garbage. The bundles must be no longer than 4′ and weigh no more than 35 lbs. bundled up (tie the limbs together with string or wire). The bundles will count as part of the allowed five (5) bags or bundles of waste
• Residents inside the city limits may bring brush to the Collection Station for disposal at no charge. You must show your current City of Georgetown utility bill and a photo ID.
