Richardson, TX: bulky pickup & disposal rules
Richardson BABIC collects qualifying large bulk items on request at no extra charge; the City asks residents to limit themselves to eight requested pickups per year and to call 972-744-4111 or book online before setout.
Quick answer
Richardson BABIC collects qualifying large bulk items on request at no extra charge; the City asks residents to limit themselves to eight requested pickups per year and to call 972-744-4111 or book online before setout.
Who qualifies
BABIC applies to qualifying residential waste customers inside Richardson municipal service territory. An item merely located at a Richardson postal address is not proof that the City will collect it.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
Large furniture and heavy bulky waste are the intended service. Richardson distinguishes small objects below approximately 50 pounds, generally suited to regular trash, from the bulky pickup route. Brush is subject to its own preparation rules.
Before setting anything out
Use the MyRichardson app, City online request, or call 972-744-4111 to arrange the pickup before staging. The City commonly requests setout by 7 a.m. on your assigned pickup day at the designated parkway between sidewalk and street, with clear space from utilities and cars.
What not to put in the bulky pile
Household hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, automotive fluids and unacceptable construction debris need different handling. The location for BABIC pickup may differ from your ordinary alley trash pickup.
Where to take other large items
The City links residents to the Dallas County hazardous-waste collection system for qualifying household chemicals. Check its acceptance and identity requirements before travel.

BABIC is booked, not an automatic bulk setout: call 972-744-4111, use the MyRichardson app, or request online before placing material in the parkway.
The City asks residents to limit use to eight calls annually; it is phrased as a request, not a published hard cap. Collection is no additional charge for eligible accounts; the program is principally for objects around/over 50 pounds.
