Comprehensive Guide & Details
Preserving the Hill Country: Waste Management Services
Nestled alongside the beautiful Highland Lakes, Marble Falls is committed to maintaining its scenic landscapes through a rigorous solid waste partnership with Waste Management (WM). The municipality relies on a standardized poly-cart system for weekly domestic refuse collection. Homeowners are required to have their bins rolled to the street edge no later than 6:00 a.m. on their scheduled service day. Because the region is home to abundant wildlife, residents must ensure all trash is tightly bagged and the cart lid is completely closed to deter foraging animals.
Bi-Weekly Curbside Recycling Rules
To reduce the environmental footprint of the community, Marble Falls offers a bi-weekly residential recycling program. You will receive a separate, distinctly colored cart exclusively for acceptable recyclable materials, including rinsed aluminum cans, flattened cardboard, and standard plastic jugs. Glass is heavily discouraged in the curbside bin as it frequently shatters and contaminates the paper supply. Items must be placed loosely inside the cart; bagging your recyclables will result in the entire bin being categorized as standard trash and sent directly to the landfill.
Utilizing the Marble Falls Transfer Station
One unique advantage for locals is the availability of the Marble Falls Solid Waste Transfer Station, located off Ranch Road 1431. When you accumulate excess refuse that simply will not fit into your curbside cart, this facility serves as an excellent drop-off point. Residents can haul bulky furniture, heavy remodeling debris, and large brush piles directly to the station. Be prepared to show your current city utility statement and a matching Texas driver’s license, as disposal fees are calculated based on the total weight of the discarded materials.
Brush Bundling and Hazardous Exclusions
Seasonal landscaping is a staple of Hill Country living, but yard waste must be handled correctly. If you wish to leave brush at the curb, the branches must be cut down to four-foot lengths and securely tied with heavy twine into bundles weighing under 40 pounds. Unbound brush piles will absolutely not be collected by WM drivers. Furthermore, any volatile substances—such as pool chemicals, wet paint, herbicides, and motor oil—are strictly banned from normal carts to prevent catastrophic fires inside the sanitation trucks.
