How residential trash and recycling collection works in San Antonio, with the official schedule lookup. Updated July 2026.

Who picks up: City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Department.

Residential garbage (brown cart) is collected once per week, and the blue recycling cart and green organics cart are collected weekly on their own shared day. Brown carts come in three sizes under pay-as-you-throw pricing — the smaller the cart, the lower the monthly collection fee.
