San Antonio runs curbside collection through the city Solid Waste Management Department using a three-cart system: a blue cart for recycling, a green cart for organics, and a brown cart for trash. The blue recycling cart does accept glass bottles and jars (with the lids removed and placed in the brown trash cart), which sets San Antonio apart from many cities that have dropped curbside glass. As of August 1, 2024, plastic bags are no longer accepted in the blue cart at all, even bundled. Bulky and brush items are collected curbside twice a year, and residents can also self-haul to city drop-off centers. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.
Yes. The San Antonio blue recycling cart accepts glass beverage bottles and food jars, but you must remove the lids first and put them in the brown trash cart. Everything goes in the cart loose, never in bags.
No plastic bags (banned from the cart since August 1, 2024, including bundled bags and plastic film), no hard plastic, no shredded paper, no napkins or paper towels, and no tanglers like hoses, cords, ropes, or string. Foiled, glittered, or varnished paper is also rejected. Contaminating your cart can trigger a fee on your CPS Energy bill.
The green cart takes food waste (peels, cores, table scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds), food-soiled paper (pizza boxes, napkins, paper plates), and yard trimmings (grass, leaves, small branches under 3 feet). Put material in loose or in kraft, leaf, or plain brown paper bags. Bags marketed as compostable or biodegradable are not accepted.
Curbside brush and bulky item collection is provided twice per year. The city notifies you 7 to 10 days ahead with a door hanger stating when to set your pile out. Piles must be no more than eight cubic yards and placed within eight feet of the curb at the front of your house.
