Comprehensive Guide & Details
Weekly Refuse Collection by Texas Disposal Systems
The City of Giddings has partnered with Texas Disposal Systems (TDS) to deliver dependable weekly sanitation services to all local neighborhoods. Depending on your specific street address, your assigned garbage day will fall on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Residents are strictly required to wheel their provided TDS containers to the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on their scheduled morning. To keep the community looking pristine, please ensure that all household trash is properly bagged before being tossed into the bin, preventing loose wrappers and debris from blowing across the street.
Bi-Weekly Curbside Recycling Protocol
Participating in the local recycling program does not cost anything extra, as every household is supplied with a spacious 96-gallon green cart. Recycling routes are executed every other Friday, completely separate from your normal garbage days. Acceptable materials include rinsed glass bottles, plastic jugs, aluminum cans, and paper products. You are also permitted to leave neatly tied bundles of flattened cardboard next to your green cart. Utilizing this service significantly reduces the volume of waste sent to regional landfills.
Scheduling Free Quarterly Bulky Item Pickups
One of the most unique benefits of living in Giddings is the complimentary bulky item program. Once every quarter, customers can request a completely free curbside removal of up to three cubic yards of oversized waste, such as broken furniture, old water heaters, and heavy brush. To utilize this perk, you must proactively call TDS customer service at 800-375-8375 to get onto the route schedule. Please note that old mattresses are excluded from the free tier and require a separate disposal fee ranging from $25 to $75.
Annual Christmas Tree Disposal and Citywide Cleanups
Getting rid of seasonal debris is simplified through specialized community events. From December 26th through January 31st, TDS will pick up live Christmas trees left at the curb, provided they are cut in half and stripped of all decorations. Furthermore, the city hosts two massive clean-up events annually—one on the last Saturday of April and another on the last Saturday of September. During these events, ten large dumpsters are placed at the city warehouse on 305 N. Caldwell Street, allowing locals to drop off scrap metal, appliances without freon, and bulk trash for free.
