4 trips of bulky and brush waste. Bulky and brush may not exceed eight (8) cubic yards per visit. That is about a full-sized pick-up truckload. Brush and bulky piles larger than a full-sized pick-up truckload (8 cubic yards) must go to another disposal location, such as the City of Waco Landfill. Waco residents must provide proof of residency to dispose of brush and bulky waste. Visits will be tracked. State law requires that loose loads must be tarped. Because of liability concerns, we cannot help unload. Please bring helpers with you if needed.
