Pflugerville Trash Schedule
According to the regulations of Pflugerville, residents are required to place their trash cart at the curbside by 7 AM on their collection day. Use only city-issued trash carts for placing your regular trash at the curbside. Place only those carts with lids at the curbside, as carts without lids or those with trash spilling out will not be serviced.
Put all trash into plastic bags before placing it in the cart. Place your cart so that its lid faces the front of the street to ensure easy collection. Always place your cart in a visible and accessible location so that trash collection trucks can pick up your trash without any interruptions in the collection process.

Pflugerville Recycling Collection Schedule
Citizens of Pflugerville are provided with weekly recycling services, and participation in recycling is required. Residents should place their recycling carts at the curbside by 7 AM on recycling day. Recycling services are provided on the same day as regular trash collection.
Acceptable recycling materials include bottles, cans, jugs, jars, paper, and cardboard, as per Pflugerville regulations. Place only clean, empty, and dry items in your recycling cart. Do not place plastic bags in recycling carts as they are not recyclable and cause issues in the recycling process.
Place recycling materials in carts with closed lids at the curbside to minimize litter. Ensure your recycling cart is 2 feet from other trash carts in visible and accessible locations for easy collection. Once collected, roll your cart back as soon as possible.
Pflugerville Bulk Pickup Schedule
Bulk trash includes items that do not fit into a regular trash cart due to size, such as broken furniture (chairs, tables, beds, sofas, and couches) and home appliances (refrigerators, ovens, washers, and mattresses). These items will be picked up on the same day as regular trash collection. To dispose of bulk trash, place them at the curbside by 7 AM on normal trash collection day.
If residents have a large amount of bulk trash and need immediate removal but their normal collection day is too far off, they can call 512-990-6100 to schedule a special pickup. Residents can dispose of up to 6 bags of small trash or bulk items per collection.
When placing home appliances at the curbside, remove all doors (e.g., from refrigerators and ovens) before placing them out for collection. Do not block sidewalks with bulk trash and do not add construction debris or irrelevant materials to your bulk pile, as these will not be serviced.
Pflugerville Yard Waste Pickup
Yard waste collection is provided on the same day as bulk trash collection. Yard waste/green garden waste includes tree branches, leaves, stems, grass clippings, and other garden waste. To dispose of yard waste, place items at the curbside by 7 AM on the scheduled day. Once collected, it is the resident’s duty to clean up any leftover debris from the street.
Proper preparation of yard waste is necessary to ensure collection. Pack tree leaves and small yard waste into compostable bags and place them at the curbside. For tree branches, cut them into 4-foot lengths and tie them into bundles before placing them out for collection.

Certain holidays observed by Pflugerville can affect normal trash collection schedules. If these holidays fall on a Monday, Monday’s trash will be collected on Tuesday, and Tuesday’s collection will be delayed by one day, moving to Wednesday. This delay continues throughout the week.
