San Antonio's free bulky drop-off — the rules that matter

Free for residential customers who pay the City's environmental fee — but you must prove it.
Bring BOTH a recent CPS Energy bill showing the Environmental Fee AND a matching photo ID. No bill, no free drop-off.
Residential customers only — materials from commercial waste haulers are not accepted at all.
NO household trash. These are bulky-waste centers, not a dump for your regular garbage bags.
Bulky items are limited to four (4) cubic yards per visit.
Construction debris is limited to one (1) cubic yard per visit — much tighter than the bulky limit.
Load height rule: material in a truck bed must not be stacked above the fender wheel. Overloaded trucks get turned away.
Open Tuesday through Saturday only — closed Sunday, Monday, and city holidays. Saturday closes early at 4 p.m.
Heads-up on the Bitters center: the entrance is off Wurzbach Parkway, reached from Jones Maltsberger — people regularly can't find it from the old approach.
