Quick answer
Tyler City curbside households can request two complimentary bulky pickups per year, usually within five business days. City says six-to-eight cubic yards; larger piles and separate brush/tire services can be charged.
Who qualifies
The entitlement belongs to the City-served residential solid-waste account. Commercial properties and private hauler accounts need a different quote; confirm at the actual address.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances
The City describes bulk as larger household articles including furniture, carpet and other approved heavy items. It specifies a bulky-item pickup limit of six to eight cubic yards per visit; exceeding eight cubic yards may incur a paid special pickup; ask the dispatcher for the precise limit before placing out a whole-room cleanout. Appliances and fencing require item-specific confirmation.
Before setting anything out
Tyler asks customers to move bulk to the curb and submit an online special-pickup request, through the online bulky-item request form. City materials describe a collection within five business days of the request. Arrange the request promptly; curbside piles left without a request risk an enforcement response.
What not to put in the bulky pile
Do not mix tires, brush or hazardous materials into ordinary bulk. Tyler may quote paid special pickups for material beyond the free program.
Where to take other large items
Ask Solid Waste for a separate disposal path for brush, electronics, tires or a third annual collection. A paid service has its own current rate.

Qualifying City curbside customers can request two no-charge bulky visits each calendar year, with pickup usually within five business days of the request.
The City states a six-to-eight-cubic-yard limit and a fee for oversized piles; this is not a resident-selected fixed eight-yard entitlement. Large unbundled brush and tires use a different paid service. Unrequested piles can trigger enforcement or charges.
