• Hazardous Waste (e.g., solvents, paints, batteries, automotive fluids, fluorescent light bulbs, pool chemicals)

Recycling:

The expanded list of acceptable materials allows customers to put all their recyclables, unsorted, into the larger cart.

• Paper: including junk mail, newspapers, magazine
• Cardboard: including cereal boxes, shipping boxes, shoe boxes

Bulky Pickups

Yard waste must be bundled, tied and cut into four (4) foot lengths, not to exceed 35 pounds per bundle. Limbs within the bundle must be no more than four 4 inches in diameter. To schedule, call TDS at 1-800-375-8375.

Additional Bagged Yard Waste

Up to 10 bags of additional yard waste can be picked up every other week with the green waste cart. The bags must be the approved brown outdoor paper bags for yard waste and must be placed next to green cart. Yard waste can include tree trimmings, yard clippings, branches, or brush.

Household Hazardous Waste

Items such as paint, yard chemicals and cleaners, can be taken to the San Marcos Household Hazardous Waste Facility, located at 634 East Hopkins - Across from the big HEB in San Marcos. Visit their website for a complete list of materials accepted, location and hours of operation. They are open Fridays from noon-3:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. This location only accepts residential waste - no commercial waste is accepted.

Recyclables are taken to TDS’ new materials recycling facility (MRF) just north of Kyle in Creedmoor where the materials are separated, processed and sent to market. Additionally, TDS has a compost operation where the material picked up from homes is turned into compost, soils and other products that are sold in Garden-Ville and other retail stores and used by gardeners throughout Central Texas.

Items recycled at the facility create an environmental benefit because recycling materials such as paper, glass, and metal helps protect valuable natural resources, save energy, promote clean air and water, and conserve landfill space.

Christmas Tree Recycling

City of Kyle residents can recycle their Christmas trees by setting them next to their Texas Disposal Systems curbside carts for pick up December 26 - January 31. All Trees MUST:

• Be natural (no artificial trees)
• Be free of flocking, lights, ornaments, metal & other non-living contaminants. 
• Be cut in half and set next to cart.

There will be times that TDS trucks will not be able to pick up trees because of the volume load, please leave the tree at the curb and TDS will eventually pick it up.
