Richardson disposal programs
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Bulky pickup in Richardson
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Richardson runs Brush and Bulky Item Collection (BABIC) eight times a year rather than weekly — check your zone's BABIC month before putting mattresss at the curb. Keep chemicals off the pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Richardson has no city HHW depot, and the NTMWD Lookout Transfer Station on East Lookout Drive does not accept household hazardous waste. Take motor oil to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center, 11234 Plano Road, Dallas. Confirm open days and residency rules on the county page before loading the car.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Richardson e waste mixed goes to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center, 11234 Plano Road, Dallas, which takes electronics along with household chemicals from participating-city residents. Confirm open days before you drive over and wipe personal data first.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not a BABIC item. Self-haul to the NTMWD Lookout Transfer Station, 1601 East Lookout Drive, at posted tipping fees. Route paint to Dallas County HC3 — the transfer station takes no HHW.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Richardson 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. City of Richardson — Brush and Bulky Item Collection is the official Richardson 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.
