City of Saginaw Texas A City on the Right Track!

Bulky items including stoves, furniture, water heaters, etc., when placed on the curb, will be
picked up on normal collection days. When Waste Connections picks up the regular garbage,
they will radio their office to send another truck to pick-up bulky items.

Garbage and bulky items will be picked up according schedule. Garbage should not be
placed at the curb any sooner than 12 hours prior to the pick-up date. Garbage and brush
won’t be picked up if it weighs more than 50 pounds. If your garbage is not picked up, please
call Waste Connections at (817) 222-2221.

Brush will not be included in the weekly “Take-All” service unless it is in a container or tied
in bundles not exceeding four feet in length. Waste Connections provides curbside pickup of
brush twice a year; once in the spring and again in the fall. Trucks will go down each street
one time only, reporting to the city each street as it is completed. Call City Hall for more
information.
