Prosper is one of the more generous cities in the DFW area when it comes to bulk pickup โ weekly collection with a decent volume limit. But there are still restrictions worth knowing before you set items at the curb.
Quick Answer
Available?
Yes โ weekly collection
How often?
Every week on your designated trash/recycling day
Scheduling required?
No โ just place items at the curb before 7 a.m.
Main limit
Up to 4 cubic yards per collection
Accepted Items
Appliances, furniture, large household items that don't fit in the cart. Essentially anything bulky and non-hazardous.
What the City Won't Take
Hazardous waste, car parts, tires, bricks, concrete, and other non-compactible materials. Refrigerant appliances (fridges, freezers, AC units) require certified Freon removal documentation before they'll be picked up.
Schedule & Timing
Bulk waste is collected on the same day as your regular trash and recycling. Just place items at the curb before 7 a.m. No reservation or scheduling required. Prosper also offers a Saturday drop-off option at the Prosper Public Works Center โ you'll need proof of residency.
Common Mistakes That Cause Missed Pickups
Exceeding the 4 cubic yard limit โ the crew will leave the overage
Setting out a fridge or freezer without Freon removal paperwork
Putting out bricks, concrete, or construction debris
Placing items out after 7 a.m. on collection day
Forgetting about the Saturday drop-off option for larger loads

No. Prosper collects bulk waste weekly on your regular trash day. Just set it out by 7 a.m.
Up to 4 cubic yards per collection. That's roughly the equivalent of a small truckload.

Yes โ the Prosper Public Works Center accepts bulk items on Saturdays with proof of residency.
Anything beyond 4 cubic yards stays at the curb. For large cleanouts, a same-day junk removal service is faster and avoids the volume limit.
