City of Smithville Service Information

The City of Smithville sought competitive bids and chose Texas Disposal Systems (TDS), a group of locally owned and managed companies, as the new Solid Waste and Recycling Services provider for the City of Smithville.

Trash will now be serviced once per week, and recycling will be serviced every other week.

Your trash and recycling pickup will occur on the same day of the week. Both are serviced on Wednesday. Trash collection is every week and recycling collection is every other week. Please reference the Welcome Packet for the new collection zoning map.

• Zone 1 will receive Trash Collection + Recycle Collection on Wednesday, March 4.
• Zone 2 will receive Trash Collection on Wednesday, March 4, and recycling collection on Wednesday, March 11.

The last collection with your current service provider will take place during February 23 – February 27, 2026. Please leave your current service provider carts out after your last service day, and your current service provider will collect them after their last service.

TDS carts will be delivered beginning Monday, February 23, through Friday, February 27. The trash cart will be delivered first, followed by the recycling cart.

Place your cart on the curb or street out of the way of traffic and at least five feet away from vehicles, mailboxes, low hanging branches, or other hazards. (See Proper Cart Placement video).

Please note that if the carts are currently being serviced in the alley, they will continue to be serviced in the alley.

Find your holiday pick-up day by searching your address in our Waste Wizard, which you can download and sign up for through Google Play and the App Store.

Containers should be placed by the curb no later than 7 a.m. If possible, please place your container out the night before your service day to ensure that you will be serviced.

In most residential areas, our trucks operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but service time may be affected by region or contract.

If you placed your container out too late for service, please contact us to see if an additional collection can be scheduled for your address. Additional charges will be assessed.

Please contact us at (844) 873-7734 to schedule collection of additional items that cannot be placed in your container. Our staff will advise you of limitations and additional charges for the service as well as schedule a day to collect the items.

The cost of a pick-up and the limitations of a pick-up vary by each city and each local contract. Not all prices and policies are universal. However, in general, there are important things to note:

In most cities, TDS will normally collect up to three cubic yards per household (approximately the size of a washer and dryer set; see below). Larger sizes may be available at additional costs.

Bulky and brush waste must be neatly placed at the curb away from hazards like low wires, branches, vehicles, fencing or mailboxes.

Brush waste must have their loose items secured. This means branches are cut to under four feet in length and are tied together with string. See the example below for properly bundled brush.

Bulky and brush waste must also be free of hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals and tires, and non-compactable waste like dirt, soil, rock and construction waste.

Appliances set out for bulky waste should be free of chemicals like freon, and be properly tagged by a technician if chemicals were removed.

To confirm your bulky pick-up and local limitations around your collection, please contact our customer care team.
