Bulky pickup in McAllen
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Mcallen mattresss: go on monthly zone brush/bulky weeks (separate piles) or drop at McAllen Recycling Center 4101 N. Bentsen with utility bill. No HHW/tires/e-waste/C&D on curb.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
motor oil: McAllen Recycling Center does NOT accept hazardous waste. For motor oil, use scheduled community HHW events or TCEQ-listed local HHW programs — do not put chemicals in bulky or the recycling center.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
McAllen recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. McAllen Public Works — Brush & Bulky is the official McAllen program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
