City of Temple to host Bulky Item Disposal Event

TEMPLE, TX (April 10, 2026) – The City of Temple will be hosting a Bulky Item Disposal Event at the Solid Waste Complex, giving residents an additional opportunity to dispose of large household items that do not fit in regular trash collection.

WHAT: Bulky Item Disposal Event

WHEN: Saturday, April 18, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

WHERE: Temple Solid Waste Complex, located at 2611 E Avenue H

This event is open to Temple residential customers and will operate as a self-service, dumpster-style drop-off.

Upon arrival, residents will complete a brief check-in process and be asked to provide their address. Staff will verify eligibility for Temple Solid Waste services. Residents with a Belton address may still participate if they receive Temple utility and solid waste services.

This event is for residential use only and no commercial disposal will be permitted. As this is a self-service event, residents should be prepared to unload their own items. Boxes will be available on-site to assist with unloading if needed. There is no set item limit for this event.

This event will be offered twice a year to provide additional opportunities for residents to dispose of bulky items outside of the monthly bulky item pickup program.
