New Trash Bins Coming November 2025

  October 22, 2025

The City of Alamo Heights is upgrading to new standardized wheeled trash bins for all residents beginning in November 2025. These durable bins provide more capacity, easier movement, and faster, cleaner collection for the community. Public Works staff will deliver bins directly to each home at no cost—residents west of Broadway will receive theirs Nov. 10 – Dec. 8, and those east of Broadway Dec. 8 – Dec. 30. Your regular trash pickup day will not change. A grace period will remain in effect through February 6, 2026, allowing residents to continue using their old containers until that date, when only the new bins will be collected.

Bins will not be delivered on holidays, including Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, or Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
