City of Tyler changes process for bulky item removal service

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - The City of Tyler announced changes to the way bulky item disposal requests work for city residents, effective immediately.

Monday, the City of Tyler announced it was doing away with the previous process of having two free bulky item collection weeks a year.

Now residential customers who use curbside collection services (excluding multi-family home communities and businesses) can request two bulky waste pick-ups each calendar year at no charge by using an online form located on the Tyler Solid Waste website.

Customers will need to place items on the curb before filling out the online form. A picture must be taken of the items and included with the online form for the request to be processed. For each individual request, bulky items are limited to 8 cubic yards. There is an extra charge for larger piles.

Bulky items to be picked up at no charge include furniture, appliances, carpet, fence material, old toys and other large items that do not fit in a residential cart. No liquid waste, tires, limbs, brush, tree stumps or construction material will be picked up. These items are considered a special collection.

Residents may request more than two collections within a calendar year but these will be handled as a special collection and will have a fee based on the size and amount of the items.

State of Play

While electric-powered vehicles may be the ride of the future, oil remains at least for now the dominant fuel for transportation around the world. And after a period of time at the end of the 20th century when oil was subject to wide fluctuations in price, new supplies in North America as a result of non-conventional recovery techniques have helped stabilize prices.
