Why City heavy trash doesn't always cover it
Kingwood homes on City of Houston curbside service can set out some building material on heavy trash day, but the rules are limited. According to the City's Solid Waste Management Department, heavy trash can include up to 4 cubic yards of resident-generated building material, and it excludes shingles, brick, plaster, and concrete. Material generated by contractors, including remodeling and roofing debris, is not collected and must be removed by the contractor. If allowed and disallowed items are mixed in one pile, the whole pile may be refused. Check the City's heavy trash page for current rules.
That leaves a lot of projects that need another route: bigger remodels, heavy materials, anything a contractor produced, or situations where you can't wait for your heavy trash date. Homeowners in New Caney and Porter, which are unincorporated, need to check what their trash provider will take, since bulk and debris pickup rules vary by provider and subdivision.
Heavy and restricted materials
Concrete, brick, tile, dirt, and roofing shingles are very heavy for their size. Some haulers take them with weight limits or extra charges; others recommend a roll-off dumpster instead. Mention these materials clearly in your request.
If your home is older and the project involves materials like old vinyl flooring, popcorn ceilings, or pipe insulation, consider testing for asbestos before tearing them out. Asbestos-containing material requires special handling, and ordinary junk haulers generally won't take it. In Texas, asbestos is regulated by the Department of State Health Services.
What affects the cost
Debris removal is usually priced by volume and weight. Drywall and lumber take up space; tile, concrete, and dirt add weight quickly. Other factors include whether debris is already piled in the driveway or has to be carried out from inside, whether nails and sharp materials are bagged or loose, and disposal fees at the landfill or transfer station. Photos and a rough list of materials help the hauler give an accurate estimate.
Haul-away vs. dumpster
For an ongoing multi-week project, a dumpster may be easier. You fill it as you go. For a finished project with a pile to clear, a haul-away crew loads everything in one visit, and nothing sits in your driveway for days. Some Kingwood villages restrict how long dumpsters or debris can stay in view, so check your deed restrictions either way.

Frequently asked questions
Will City of Houston heavy trash take my remodel debris?
Only in limited amounts. The City allows up to 4 cubic yards of resident-generated building material on heavy trash day, excluding shingles, brick, plaster, and concrete. Contractor-generated debris is not collected.
Can a hauler take concrete or brick?
Some can, often with weight limits or extra charges, because these materials are very heavy. Mention them in your request. For large amounts, a dumpster may be the better option.
Do haulers take old roofing shingles?
Some do, but shingles are heavy and often priced by weight. Ask when you request your estimate, and include roughly how many squares or bundles you have.
I'm a contractor. Can I use this form?
Yes. Describe the materials, the volume, and the site address. Include timing so the hauler can schedule the pickup around your project.
