Sanitation

Residential Service

The City of Burnet has contracted with a third party provider (ACDI) to provide garbage services to citizens of Burnet.  Household garbage is collected once weekly. Call the City of Burnet or refer to the Route Map below to determine which day your location is collected.  Prohibited items include batteries, tires, hazardous materials, televisions and liquids.  Pick-ups scheduled on a holiday will be picked-up on the following work-day. 

Standard residential service includes one 95-gallon trash cart and one 95-gallon recycling cart per household. Customers who are physically unable to use the standard 95-gallon solid waste cart may request a 65-gallon cart.  Residents may obtain additional carts for residential curbside solid waste collection and for residential single stream curbside recycling collection, at an additional cost.

Each customer will receive the pickup of up to an additional three (3) cubic yards on the first full week monthly, of solid waste, bulky waste or brush bundles.  Solid waste, bulky waste and/or brush bundles in excess of three (3) cubic yards per monthly pickup shall be billed at an additional fee of $5.00 per cubic yard.

Upon reaching age sixty-five (65) citizens may request residential curbside solid waste collection and single stream curbside recycling collection services every other week at the senior citizen rate.  Citizens wishing to take advantage of this reduced rate should contact the Utility Department at City Hall with proof of date of birth.

Commercial Service

Commercial solid waste collection via dumpster shall be provided between one (1) and five (5) days weekly at rates as provided for herein.

Optional single stream curbside recycling collection with every other week pick up is available to commercial customers. One (1) 95-gallon recycling cart shall be provided for each commercial unit requesting such service. Commercial customers may obtain additional 95-gallon recycling carts at an additional cost.  This service is optional and provided upon the request of the commercial customer. 

Roll-off services shall be billed by the service provider (ACDI).

As appropriate and reasonable, given the volume of solid waste, smaller commercial units may request carts. 

Customers who wish to rent a dumpster may do so through ACDI for temporary services.  Prohibited items include batteries, tires, hazardous materials, televisions and liquids.  Roll-off boxes are scheduled by the provider by calling 512-930-5490.
